| And I can go to a pretty dark place. I mean, remembering negative work places. Not this bad, but say a sales job where they want you to lie to the customer, and they say it’s not really lying. I’m hoping my Spectrum colleagues here help to center me. Yes, we fully embrace the world just as it is. An... |

| For many people, it's a stimulant, most of which run through the system completely in a day or so, but other options can require more time to ween off of. With anti-depressants, I understand it’s not just the medicine washing through a person’s system and the half-life and all that. It’s also that ... |

| Maybe ADHD-I can often be helped by medication ? ? ? In that case, the doctor should just say so. He or she should say something like, Hey, there’s a fair amount of overlap between ADHD-I and the broad autism spectrum. Some people are helped by medication.

I understand that anti-depressants such as Zoloft are trial-and-error in a respectful sense. And that a “regular” doctor can prescribe them just as well as a psychiatrist.

| Does this have anything to do with Tucker Carlson's sacking? Yes, it does. Tucker Carlson was fired [sacked] Monday morning. In my opinion, he was made the fall guy, maybe because he had the juicier quotes. Sean Hannity was actually the more senior guy. * I love the fact that “sacked” is the UK ter... |
