MODERATORS
its definitely real though. the way my brain responds to stimulants is completely different from how people without ADHD respond. often caffeine has no effect on my wakefulness at all, and usually makes me sleepy, unless i have a lot. and taking my prescribed stimulants makes me calm and focused where others would be euphoric and amped up. thats the most clear evidence that my brain literally functions differently, but theres also a mountain of other more subtle evidence.
same, i can chug 400mg of caffeine pills and barely even notice a difference
