Sup, /sci/? I'd appreciate some advice if you anons would be cool with that.
I'm 22 and I've always had a pretty terrible experience with the public school system-I've struggled with ADHD my entire life- and naturally withdrew from that type of environment and focused on the things that did matter to me.
Those things were video games and music. I've developed a pretty decent ability when it comes to understanding and creating music- It's currently what I'm studying in school-but I've come to a point where I've realized how important it is that I spend my time better than I have been. Through forcing myself to watch and try and understand things like Carl Sagan's series "Cosmos", and reading some of his books(the Demon Haunted World, for example). I've come to realize how amazing and beautiful the world can be through the lens of science. How important it is as a tool to not only understand the world and ourselves, but the choices we make, and the progression of human history. My abilities to perform and understand scientific and mathematical formula would probably be sub-par, but It's important that I do what I can to try and learn as much as I can about this sort of thing.
Where should I start?
What sort of people have influenced you in life?
I'd love to know.

I will, but I've certainly been medicated for it my entire life. That I do know is real.

Then the meds that you were ''forced to take'' at a young age probably altered your conscience/brain chemistry/whatever... I do think that what you were originally diagnosed with was not ADHD, but rather a symptom of a different, yet normal personality.
I am not a professional though, but idk, search for ADHD hoax, bipolar hoax, ..etc. on Google
Get some conflicting ideas inside your BRAIN
BTW, Jordan Peterson isn't about ADHD

I'll do that, thanks. Unfortunately I'm at a point where I feel I cannot, under any circumstance perform well without my medication. I can't be fucked to get out of bed for most of the time. I just lay around and watch shit on the internet. Dumb shit.
I'll look up the stuff you mentioned though, thanks.

Yeah, I realized that after I read the topic in the the title. Was super interesting, thanks for sharing.
