After over 20 years of telling every doctor I& #39;ve ever had "I have ADHD" - and having it be ignored - the Dr. I found this year said "Hey, let& #39;s assess you - yep - ok, here& #39;s Concerta!"

I started taking it on my birthday last month, and it has been life-changing. 1/ https://twitter.com/KikiDoodleTweet/status/1301377444516040711">https://twitter.com/KikiDoodl...

I mean, as soon as it hit I could suddenly focus without all of the vast array of tools I& #39;d accrued in FOURTY-FOUR years of coping.

My brain just WORKED. On one channel. And I could get interrupted and turn right back around and pick up where I left off. 2/

My amazing Dr. decided to assess my 16 yr. old, too. He filled out the assessment forms tonight, and scored higher than I did.

And that& #39;s how I found myself telling the very shocked secretary, who called to confirm his appointment, 3/

"I& #39;m sending you these forms right now! And I can& #39;t wait for my kid to go on drugs! I& #39;m so excited he can do drugs too!"

Which admittedly sounds bad out of context and also made her laugh so hard she had to hang up, but it& #39;s accurate. 4/

The medication doesn& #39;t cause a high for me.

The high comes from realizing that I& #39;ve played life on Difficult Mode for 44 years, and somebody just turned on Cheat Mode!

And knowing my son will not have to hurt like I did for so long makes me joyful. <3
