The easiest way to get it is to show all your failed classes and exams. Anything else is not really enough proof honestly, as that's the most direct evidence that the illness is directly impacting school.

When an adult asks for it, it's a lot more serious. They simply can't do their job without it which affects their livelihood. Not being able to pay the bills is serious business.

Legitimate reasons:

- Failing School

- About to get fired/Can't get hired

Illegitimate reasons:

- I deserve better grades (for children/parents)

- I deserve better jobs and money (for adults)

- I deserve to instantly develop work/study habits (everyone)

It's a very desperate medication to seek. Unfortunately, amphetamine derivatives are the first line of defense against this illness and that's a very serious type of drug. It scares me children are given drugs of the stimulant variety.
