If they didn't need it why take it? I was a decent student in high school, great social life and I guess people generally liked my adhd energy.

So I basically never considered adhd to be something I had until I failed out of college twice because I literally couldn't make myself show up to class on time or make myself show up for every class for a whole semester or stay for a while 1/1.5hr lecture all after finishing 3 hrs of doing the same shit and getting some A's mostly B's and some C. But can't pass 400+ level classes in engineering or philosophy without lecture attendance. Gonna make one final attempt next semester to finish the engineering degree since I got on meds a couple months ago but 12 years of bad habits is hard to get rid of even on meds.
