    Oh i see the point of confusion. If taken literally yeah that’s how it could be read. I read a sarcastic tone in the whole statement. They make an otherwise serious complaint then use a humorous informal slang like “rawdog” which demeans their own authority in the statement.

    In this case the sarcasm extends to the word “let” which i think is pointing to how underperforming individuals get diagnosis and medication much more often. That they are given care while well performing individuals are uncared for.

    It does fit the definition of the word as well, to allow someone to do something by not doing anything to stop them. In this case the not doing anything to stop them part refers to that lack of provision of care.









  • If one starts with very low or no tolerance then even minimal amounts can be a bit much. A higher tolerance can make that more comfortable. At these low doses, a small variation can impact the experience overall and some people will like it with a slightly higher dose which they need to build a tolerance to smooth out the harsher effects of.

    Not sure if that’s what they meant but in this way the word can be correctly used.

    The meme is a poignant exaggeration. It’s pointing out that many ADHD folk are blocked from access to any therapy because they perform well professionally. Using professional performance as the primary metric often leaves people with untreated difficult conditions on their personal life.

    For example, someone might be the best car mechanic you can find but their own car is a neglected POS. Someone might accel as a surgeon but their home is a stye.

    These lead to issues with social life and result in burnout.
