Caption: I still don't know why part of autistic/adhd diagnosis isn't putting you in a room with someone already diagnosed and seeing how quickly you bond.

similarily if you pop 200mg of caffeine and fall asleep that might be a slight indication that you have adhd

Just sounds like caffeine addiction. I used to be able to drinks pot of coffee and then go to sleep. Then health issues caused me to give up all caffeine for several years and now if I have half a cup im wired for hours...

True, but I never drink coffee and could drink one right now and go sleep. The same when I was prescribed methylphenidate, straight to sleep. A non ADHD brain would be going 100mph.

Knowing that, this might be the best evidence that I am not ADHD I've heard, lol.

That's me in my normal rhythm of substance abuse with caffeine.

It might be that.

Then again, the funny thing about caffeine is that I can go without some for weeks as long as I'm not expected to work. Longest I've gone without was a 12 week, almost 3 month streak. The coffee I had in my kitchen went bad.

Being able to forget you are addicted to something is also an ADHD trait.
