This TUE is BS. She's got through Notre Dame without Adderall but needs it now???? Total BS.
Two things that make this actually add up:
-College athletes are generally not being tasked with heavy academic lifting, and poor focus probably wasn't a huge issue at that point.
-There has been a HUGE surge in young people talking about/getting diagnosed with ADHD. She may have sought a diagnosis for the first time because of the insane amount of attention being brought to ADHD on, for example, TikTok. I'm not interested in assessing the root of the trend or whether the increase in diagnoses is legitimate, but it certainly explains a relatively new diagnosis.
