It's extraordinarily hard to get ADHD treatment (as an adult) if you also have Asperger's and the only working treatment is a stimulant.
Psychiatrists seem to think you can only have ASD OR ADHD, not both at once.
Can't figure out why my symptoms were unpersuasive. I am fucked.

And of course, Google isn't what it used to be. I see no solutions there.
At the very least, if I had more friends, maybe I could get a dose or two from them, to get evidence about whether meds WOULD work if I were allowed to try them.

I have a more subtle problem: neurotypicals have more friends, increasing the chance that one of them knows a trick for getting treatment or can describe how "the system" works in order to find loopholes in the system.
But I have minimal friends so there's no one who can help.
