  • Its becoming a common term that you likely won’t face much pushback over, I just personally take issue with it in regards to ADHD.

    There are many people that see the perscribed stimulants we use to medicate, as no different then the ones which are often abused to get high. Essentially, that we’re drug addicts. I’ve dealt with them before.

    When you’re medicated with stimulants, telling people that you’re “stimming” doesn’t really help to dissuade the negative connotations.

    While it would be nice to disregard those people, many that I’ve dealt with have been in critical positions, such as managers, or on one occasion, even a doctor.

    As frustrating as it is, optics matter.
