    I was diagnosed with DSPOD about a year before I was diagnosed with ADHD.

    I mention that because I’ve often heard the statement that “of course people with ADHD have fucked up sleep, they have to take amphetamine to treat it.”

    I cannot sleep at night without medication. With or without adderall, I can sleep from about 5am to noon if I didn’t sleep the previous night.

    It’s only recently I’ve become comfortable with the term of nuerodivergent, but the truth is, my brain appears to function slightly different from nuerotypicals.
