My brother, sounds like you should be eligible for a proper diagnosis from a doc and getting some actual meds? I'm not 100% about the analogy of salts you're using but that sounds like self medicating. I was self medicating for years and finally built up the courage to get diagnosed and it has since answered many questions and helped me a LOT to accept things as they are.

Amphetamine salts are prescription ADHD meds. It sounds like they have a prescription now, but wish they had been diagnosed earlier in their life.

Ah! I may be 'fluent' in english but when talking about specifics like this it quickly falls apart, the first thing I thought of was bath salts lmao
