When I was hyperactive, I was annoying, disruptive, and poorly disciplined.
When I wasn't hyperactive, I was a lazy slacker.
The boys that shared my symptoms got treatment. I got punished.
Same all around except I got treated and punished for the side effects of the meds (appetite suppression until it wears off and then “stealing” food in the middle of the night when I was starving) There’s no winning.
