Yea i would definitely use that power sparingly lol. My dad was undiagnosed with ADHD till his 40s and he used rage/anger to get things done all throughout his younger years and he has a lot of stomach problems due to a number of factors such as severe reflux and other similar things. Not saying they were all directly caused by the anger, but it's pretty accepted with my family and others that the anger probably exacerbated things.

Also, i feel like in some, not all, regards ADHD and Autism can be two sides of the same coin. I've definitely wondered before whether I might be at least a little bit on the spectrum.

Haha thanks. I found out in my early 40s as well, I just assumed I was just a lazy procrastinator my whole life until that point, and not naturally angry. I dealt with this and other symptoms by self medicating with weed and being a stoner for most of my adult life.

Agreed that it is two sides of the same coin.
