As someone diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, my first response is "wait, did we not already know this?"

Seriously, reliance on a lot of caffeine is such a typical way for ADHD folks to self-medicate, especially prior to being diagnosed.

Agree that caffeine is "more yes than no" as a means of self medicating. My focus is basically dogshit without caffeine unless I'm hyper-fixating. It's great until I have a ton of caffeine, then the negatives start to outweigh the positives and my anxiety overtakes me.
