It bothers me that people seem to forget the voice of experience. People forget all of us who lived the most important times of ours lives unmedicated and then when we medicate, they accuse us of having a polarized view, a pro-medication view. Why don't they ask us why or listen when we tell them?

Sometimes people assume because we are on medication, that we always had the opportunity and the choice to do so. Other people make us feel guilty for taking medication without bothering...

When in doubt, ask. Why do kids colour so much in primary grades? For the same reason they spend so much time cutting things out with scissors: to improve fine motor skills needed for things like writing.
