Do you have AD(H)D?

I clearly have some kind of thing in that spectrum, though I never pursued a diagnosis because I don't really want or need to take medicine for it.

But I have noticed I am NOT relating to anyone in this thread, or the OP, about the effects of caffeine. Yours is the closest, being under-whelmed by the effects of caffeine.

I don't NEED it in the mornings, it doesn't keep me up at night (I can have an espresso shot after a steak dinner at 8pm and still sleep fine), I don't get headaches from skipping a day, and it doesn't make me feel wired at all. What I do notice is that I really enjoy the flavor, and I do find that I feel "braced" if that makes sense. Which might just mean maybe I should get diagnosed and adderall would indeed help me.
