    For adults, it’s under-diagnosed. Because some of the most common prescriptions for it are stimulants like Adderall, there is a fear that adults are trying to scam the doctor. Additionally, and imo even more infuriatingly, doctors are apprehensive about diagnosing an adult because “you made it this far in life without needing help. You can’t be ADHD/autistic/neurodivergent.” Fuck that mentality. I’m ADHD and autistic and I don’t need a doctor to validate me when they can’t even agree amongst themselves half the time.












  • Not to mention that the entire “Alpha Male” philosophy was disproven by the very same guy who hypothesized it. My dude went back to check out the same family of wolves years later to see how things had gone and guess what? The “Betas” he’d witnessed weren’t the inferior members of the pack at all. They were the kiddos. The “Alphas” he’d witnessed being recognized as superior by the “Betas” were actually just the parents raising their kids. He tried to tell the world how he’d fucked up but by then the damage was done and nobody was listening.

    It’s a hilarious joke but imagine if it were truth. How would such context affect the morality of the NK government and its actions against its own citizens. I’d like to thank OP because this is the kind of thing that gives my mind a break for days as a distraction to contemplate.
