    Okay so lol.

    The study effectively says, in an extreme TLDR;

    A group of boys with ADHD - now men - were followed into adulthood and this data was then calculated.

    If you remove the likelihood of accidental death via extreme risk taking (poor safety adherence in sports, etc) and substance abuse, you’re accounting for a five year difference.

    This article wasn’t interesting at all because a basic logical conclusion would tell anyone that if you’re amongst a group with more risk taking, you’ll have a higher than average mortality rate.

    The more interesting bit, is why is there a 5 year difference if you account for all those variables? Is that even an appropriate statistic to then use? Shrug, I find these types of articles are…almost hilariously self-defeating. Just pure doomerism for folks with ADHD that hate themselves for it.

    Idk. I think he tried his best behind the scenes and publicly. Regardless of how it ended, I think he watched a nearly decade-long passion project he built effectively on his own get torched due to corpo decisions out of his control. Tbth, I don’t doubt he didn’t want to repurpose the app for a plethora of legal (app store, subscriptions, etc) reasons - but he’s probably exhausted.

    At least, I know I’d be.
