I don't have any evidence of stimulant medications causing delayed development. I was saying that the stimulants assist in development.

In my case I was given Ritalin which is about as effective as a cup of coffee. It was agitating. It mimics the warrior gene in action. I wouldn't say it delayed development for me but it did not solve my problem either. And I sure as **** didn't start doing homework. The adrenal effect had me in cramps. Just made the fact I couldn't do it that much worse. For someone who can preform these tasks to begin with, it is a push in the right direction.

But then my ADD was not diagnosed properly as non-developmental ADD. From the medical standpoint at that time and probably today as well these are one and the same. It should have been rather obvious but since I look normal, it must be something I will grow out of. I never did.

They just thought I was being belligerent. There was a lack of understanding in how the material was not an issue, it was the objectification of the book, assignment and so on that prevented me from continuing. I read books and stuff all the time.

But I would have rather not have learned habits and attitudes that I did in school.

And still ticks me off when I can't get the medication because they are determined to give the bare minimum every month on the specified day. I don't know much about heart attacks, can't really pin that down. For every amphetamine heart attack there are 100 birth control pill aneurysms. No one else has to do this type of thing with their medication. OK some people need liver tests but this is rare and with good reason. If it were that they wouldn't leave me alone that is one thing. I'd just as soon source the medication on my own.

I think the twisted logic and sharp engagement may have thrown them off. But nobody really ever cared. People need to guard their own interests. It's as if the laws of primal existence falter in the clinical setting.
