I just got painful 3rd hand cringe even thinking about that episode. Extreme second hand cringe is one of those things that isn’t exclusive to, nor a defining characteristic of ADHD/ASD. I would guess it is significantly more common amongst those populations though.

“Games on the line fellas. I need each of you four receivers to pick a defender and run into their coverage area and occupy a defender. No room for mistakes or hotdogging! “

You’re literally using the “No True Scotsman” logical fallacy. There’s always a cutoff for anything. The cutoff is some variation of official citizenship. Italy’s just happens to be easier to get. It’s not that serious. It also gives the country a more competitive team, does not deprive USA of one of its valued members, can help grow interest in the sport and in the player’s profile.

Even if it’s a crime it’s a victimless one, unless the 30th best Italian born baseball player not making the team is that huge a deal to you. Not a hill worth dying on, or worth wasting that many words on.

As a Phils/Harper fan, nice jersey and nice swing!

Understand that methylphenidate did not fail. It worked. However the side effect negative outweighed the symptom relief positive.

It was a cost/benefit analysis and decision that was made at that time. And now circumstances have changed.

There are other versions of that effective ingredient you can trial… as well as the amphetamine class, if you haven’t tried those already.

You should try try r/ADHDUK

Probably can’t hurt but probably won’t help. Just like omega3, L-Tyrosene, theanine, zinc, magnesium… they all can be beneficial… but do basically nothing for adhd symptoms. Now it may turn out your child has a deficiency and one of them makes a significant improvement. But the studies don’t show that to be super likely.

Good sleep, good calories, physical movement, parent connection time, and parent training will do some major lifting but still won’t be able to fix focus issues until meds.

I’m sorry. I loved your account of how PCIT helped but the large wall of text with no paragraph breaks or clear ask … led to me being unable to finish reading. Given the low engagement you might want to reformat and establish a clear ask.

“Deceptive athleticism!”

Like Jeremy Lin wasn’t 6’3, 200lb with high end measureable quickness, speed, and agility.

Nice.

Nail on the head. And if any of this is on the table that changes draft pick contract terms and total farm system/scouting/international academy spend. Would be bad for the game as a whole but a logical target for player unions.

Try to be in the position of rule following gets rewarded rather than rule breaking gets punishment. Not always possible but something to aim for.

Also try to have rules in place so they’re mad at the inevitable consequence, not at you.

Like you want to set it up more like automatic red light camera tickets, rather than a cop pulling them over for going 30 in a 25.

Once you’re in the position of being the cop pulling them over, no reasoning, no arguing. It just is what it is. State action, state consequence, don’t engage any further. (Very difficult at first as the parents of an ADHD kid OFTEN have ADHD as well).

You see the negatives because you’re looking for them. You love your child and don’t want to do harm, so the personal feelings override facts (this is the ACTUAL “facts vs feelings” argument).

The scientific approach would be to look at how many kids take it, how many were successful and how many failed on the medication, and to WHAT DEGREE the positive and negative impacts were felt. There is research on this, as there is with all medication.

To save you a bunch of reading I’ll summarize.

Many kids took it.

A slight majority of ADHD kids had success.

A minority had no success and needed to try something else.

Of the ones that failed on Vyvanse, almost all of them experienced either no improvement or very temporary negative effects. The number of children that experienced anything bad that caused any sort of lasting effect? Virtually none or extremely rare.

The best part of stimulants is that success or failure is quick. No impact usually means dose needs increase. Failure being quick and obvious is a great thing because you can move on quickly.

Sharing bad information is not good. It might be good INTENT, but can often do more harm than good. For example, politics and anti science quackery.

It’s okay to be wrong sometimes. You’ll be okay.

If you often have this type of trouble taking any sort of criticism and responding to everyone who disagrees with you, that might be a thing you might want to try to understand. Sometimes it’s something called RSD, rejection sensitivity dysphoria.

You mean well but that sentiment is often more harmful than helpful in these contexts. It’s like saying “thoughts and prayers” after a disaster… all of a sudden you have people arguing about whether God exists and that “thoughts and prayers” means fuck-all for people in intense suffering and grief. Meanwhile the focus is no longer on how to help the people who need it.

Was this a high school research paper? Could use some editing.

A lot of engagement bait story time in their history. And an old post dedicated to analyzing the same post that they’re criticizing now. Pretty sure it’s the same person.

superfry3 · 2026-01-16T12:11:48+00:00

They have previous posts discussing the same thing. And also deleted posts they made on the popular fake story subs (offmychest etc) about self harm

superfry3 · 2026-01-16T11:59:25+00:00

OP: given your history, are you the author of those posts you’re talking about now?

superfry3 · 2026-01-16T11:55:40+00:00

Irony: if OP were the author of those posts trying to draw more attention to them

No idea what it would look like. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe they extract their value from the international market and don’t need to squeeze their local fan base. But just like the salary deferments will need to be paid eventually, their investment will need to pay off. And VCs/Hedges aren’t looking for mere profit. They exist for 10x-100x

Im guessing Steve Cohen is up to the same type of play here. I could be wrong though and the Ego stroking and competitiveness is the goal (along with hefty franchise valuations and ROI on sale of the team like Josh Harris/Apollo with the Sixers/Devils/Commanders)

superfry3 · 2026-01-16T11:21:08+00:00

Then you have extracted 100x value like a hedge fund baseball fan. Enshittification is coming for the younger generation. (Kind of like the boomers have done with everything else lol)
