Yeah for sure, I wouldn't ever say anything is truly universal. Just a trend I've noticed with my own ability to focus on even things I do enjoy and in my own experience it can be difficult to untangle things when you have a comorbidity of depression, ADHD and anxiety which is pretty common in adults.
In an ideal world each child would have private teachers and tutors developing custom tailored curriculum and schedules for them. We don't live in an ideal world and success in public school essentially requires you be neurotypical or use medication to simulate it as much as possible.
By all means try without it first but it's going to cost you time or money you may not have. With any luck future gains in understanding the human brain will lead to medication that has the pros without the cons but today we have to use the tools we have.
This seems like uninformed conspiratorial thinking. Many stimulants have generic equivalents which is what most people are going to end up with when using insurance, at least in the US.
One thing that worked for me with the anxiousness is pairing stimulants with something like hydroxyzine. Taking half of a dose 1-2 times a day when you feel that helps smooth the edges quite a bit.
That sounds somewhat like depression/anxiety paired along with ADHD. In adult ADHD they can often be very intertwined because by the time you've reached adulthood you have a history of impulsive decisions or bad time management to regret. Or perhaps it's just a symptom of ADHD combined with aging. I don't know about you but "hyperfocus" seemed to come much easier when I was younger which I associate with being less aware of my shortcomings.
I think the clinical way to describe what you're saying is "executive function disorder". Some ADHD researchers believe this is a much better way to describe it and distractability/inattentiveness are just noticeable symptoms of that root cause.
I think there's a more constructive way to look at this which is neurotypical people have an extremely difficult time empathizing with people who are neurodivergent. This leads to a lot of friction, especially in friend groups and between managers and their subordinates.
I wouldn’t isolate your concern to firewalls and bad actors that break in over SSH. If they manage to find a vulnerability in your app that allows remote code execution this could help them make that problem much worse. Also VM/container escapes are a big problem if you use a cloud provider.
