Guanfacine and clonidine are two non-controlled meds approved for ADHD. They are second line treatments; all the first line treatments are stimulants, because they have the best ev…

You might want to look at swapping the Tmobile hotspot for the much better deal from Calyx: https://calyxinstitute.org/membership/internet - it's Tmo by default but falls back to S…

If your eyes got bad, would you get glasses? My brain doesn't produce the same amount of dopamine as a non-ADHD human's brain. It's morally neutral to fix that with medication, sam…

That article is incredible, highly recommend the read (even if it took me numerous attempts to finish it as it’s hella long)

FWIW I have no interest in being “normal” but am highly motivated to be “functional” :)

Meditation + medication is such a great combo; so many people with ADHD get burned trying to meditate unmedicated and find it miserable. A friend wrote a great twitter thread about…

As I’ve said elsewhere, this wasn’t a paid post, and I’m scrupulous about disclosing conflicts of interest when they do occur. Amusingly I’m an investor in two other ADHD related s…

Oh jeez definitely look into the potential side effects of finasteride if you haven’t already. ADHD meds have nothing on it, side effect wise.

Ty for the kind edit

This is the real ADHD MVP tip

The thing I found useful about it was it arranged a bunch of useful CBT content on a number of different ADHD coping skills into 5 minute chunks with 4-7 chunks per module/topic th…

I did like 40% of the content over the year I used it - it’s got some great stuff in it. I churned at the end of the year but I’ll probably pick it back up again soon; I definitely…

Hey there! I used inflow for like a year and liked it, but churned for now. I’ll probably use it again in the future though, it’s a good app. I have no affiliation with the founder…

Oh man offer #2 is such a classic bad Canadian angel deal. Amazing.

Here's a detailed survey of women in Silicon Valleys' experiences with sexual harassment from a couple years back: https://www.elephantinthevalley.com/ . And a more recent one focu…

There is actually a way to apply to the TN ahead of time now, it’s a pretty recent change (well, 2012): https://www.uscis.gov/archive/archive-news/new-filing-option...

I believe you that it does happen, and while it’s an interesting phenomenon it lacks the power dynamic that the other way around involves.

Your intuition is borne out by the research into repeat undetected rapists, fwiw: https://yesmeansyesblog.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/meet-the-pr... TL;DR, of the men asked a series o…

Legacy, or, as I like to call it: affirmative action for rich people :)

Well put. I’m always amused by arguments of the form “but this isn’t just a tech problem” - people get so mad about limiting the scope to one’s own expertise and experience, but al…

Perhaps you missed this in the post, but both Susan and Valerie have founded companies.

You may not be aware, but these days there is basically affirmative action for male college students, at least at elite colleges - they are even exempt from Title IX gender discrim…

Some people are so sensitive, dontchaknow ;)
