Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles.

I do just call Elvanse “amphetamine” when talking to my friends about my meds (Elvanse, so it’s actually lisdexamfetamine). I find that it actually destigmatizes these medications when you can have a laugh about things like saying “oh I’m gonna take my legal amphetamine now”.

I will admit that most of my experience is with methylphenidate because that is what I am prescribed. I am not familiar with amphetamines.
