A ton of people I know self-medicate their ADHD symptoms with all kinds of drugs (mostly pot and alcohol, but some also regular prescription pills), simply because access to therapists is far from being a given, much less getting access to a therapist specializing in adult ADHD/autism.
Thanks, your reply is informative. I’m probably biased by my living bubble and reading “access to therapist is far from given” helps to keep in mind to not generalize my context.
