had the whole millennial kid “we need to put him on xyz” & remember when i just decided nah im gonna be ‘hyper-active’ 

now ppl say “your output is so good” 

immensely anecdotal and have ppl i know who genuinely are less frazzled w medication but culture def stigmatized having different base frequencies

categorically so 

i hope that it’s largely an error in trying to act on good intention 

but you just know some ppl sat in a conference room and determined how they’d create a market and then corner it 

children should never be involved in the latter

It’s sad to think about what unique genius we have undoubtedly medicated away from people who were  functional but different and therefore untenable in a system that demands sameness
