I found this study fairly interesting and worth sharing:
High IQ in Children Linked to Drug Use Later in Life

Published article:

Original Study:

Sparknotes:
If you were smart as a child, you probably smoke now.

and yes, this can now be your excuse to smoke.

I believe you. I've read multiple studies because my brother and I are kinda like this. He takes adderol and I've taken adderol for the last 11 years. He is socially awkward to say the least and I wasn't much better but his IQ is 165 and mine is 142. ADHD definitely shows up when the brain develops towards intelligence and away from social interaction

you are so dumb.

You put >13, > means older than, bigger than, etc.

he thought you said i was older than 13....and why does it matter, i was just saying, doing drugs like that everyday in highschool for two years is unusual, then again, idk how things work in granby.

Holy shit, this sounds just like me. I'm not always conscious like worried about it like you said but i'm always conscious of things around me and it is sometimes a challenge but not as much anymore but that could be because I've had two more years than you to adapt. I had a lot of trouble when I was young and my brother is having a harder time but he is only 13 so he has some more time to go. I can totally see how much harder it is for him than it was for me. He has that 20 point IQ advantage on me but I was able to socially adapt faster.

i like how happygaper and aidan-g are obviously using much better grammar and spelling since they have now claimed to have much higher IQs than all of us, and are having their own little intelligent conversation in a public forum

I always try to use proper grammar because bad grammar is definitely a pet peeve of mine. Also it's more of a conversation about ADHD and the issues that arise from having it. This issue is very close to my heart. If you'd like to know more about it I would be happy to tell you but if you're here to make fun please shut the fuck up

That it is NOT. And evan.... you've never been in High school, therefore you wouldn't know what is normal/ not normal.

You really want to get into this? Your ignorance thoroughly disgusts me. ADHD is caused by a deficiency of seratonin in the brain. It has nothing to do with work ethic. It is ability to pay attention. I can work. Work is easy. I actually find enjoyment in work because it takes all my concentration. When it is something boring like a teacher lecturing on basic scientific concepts that I learned 4 years ago is where ADHD kicks in and I have a hard time paying attention.
