They're not mutually exclusive, and ideally you mix and match. Being on medication is a bit too polarizing, as there are people who vilify it, or otherwise shame people who need to be on life-long or long-term medication, but there is

I started medication as an adult, lived in a home with two involved & present parents, never saw any doctor about ADHD until I was an adult, and was never an unhappy child. Looking back, I clearly had ADHD, but since it's a conditi

Yeah it is definitely just weeks old at most, from what I can tell. I don't go super often, but definitely a few weeks back it was still the old way, and this week they were moved.

I played some of these for fun with a few friends (more playtime in Yu-gi-oh than pokemon, granted). What I've found fun, especially as the game has evolved to well past the number of mechanics we would nostalgically like to play with,

From what I know, this is because the american coca-cola is sweetened with corn syrup, while in other countries it's usually cane sugar. I'm not sure if the corn syrup thing has changed in recent years or not.
