Insert rage about Robin Hobb here.
If my mother had left me to be 'who I genetically am', I would be up shit creek without a paddle. There will be more on this in the OCD post that is in progress. I think we can all agree that medication should be a choice, but not medicating should ALSO be a choice, ne?
Likewere_duck, it also makes me really fucking sad that she never tried it.

I am also dismayed that she equates prescribed medication for a diagnosable condition with "using drugs". And she is clearly ill informed about current methods for managing ADD/ADHD, since strategies like using medication on weekdays & not on weekends are well-accepted strategies for managing.
I probably have enough argument with that blog post for my own blog post. (Including selectively citing Kay Redfield Jamison.) Just.. ugh.
