Nah, at the point where people with accommodations average better than people without on the LSATs I can tell what’s going on. It’s unsurprising that people on a high-grade stimulant do well on tests.

Besides I know better because I did the natural thing. I read the DSM V guidelines for diagnosing ADHD, provided the appropriate information, and got myself a diagnosis for it and a prescription for Adderall.

I’m sure you guys have all the theory-crafting but I did the thing. So if you guys think there’s suddenly a huge burst of people getting this illness in states that reward it, boy do I have a bridge to sell you.



There are problems in the DSM-5 for ADHD diagnosis. Dr Russell Barkley breaks it down in his lecture here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JLKCzEDqGa0
