that's the fun part; if he's getting dosed at the same time with an adderall xr dosage and that nsaid, both start fading pretty much around the same time, about 8-10 hours after administration.

Judging by the severity of edema, could be adderall with an iv nsaid for pain, like caldolor or something like that. That stuff will get you moooooving. source: am prescribed adderall and get diverticulitis, thus I have fun with pain management/anesthesia docs sometimes

Something we donโt talk nearly enough about, when it comes to autism: social motivation vs. social battery. Personally, I frequently feel shame because I *want* to socialize tons more, but my battery is often depleted by routine tasks that other people find fairly easy.

hey screenwriters of the world here's a quick tip about writing characters with autism: most times when something feels bad we don't do the 5-year old trying to mitigate it tactics, we don't like, put our hands on our ears thinking that makes the noise go away; we just mask and then feel like SHIT
