Are you implying aspergers is the same as 'half ret*d'? Dude I don't think your cured, you are taking ADD meds so I assume its a stimulants and stimulants can make you feel pretty awesome and more capable....but eventually you'll get a tolerance to some of those effects. You might want to read up on ADD, Aspergers Syndrome and any drugs you are prescribed.
Not really sure there is a condition called half ret*d.
My NVLD almost literally makes me half ret*d. My NVLD also is diagnosed by some as Aspergers/HFA/PDD/NOS. My NVLD gives me extremely high verbal IQ, in the genius range, I think 130+, but it gives me extremely low nonverbal IQ, less than 80 I believe, which is literally ret*d level of IQ. The causation is right brain hemisphere damage of some sort, basically from what I understand NVLD clinically acts like a right brain hemisphere stroke. So I'm half a genius, half ret*d. Fun existence.
And stims while they're awesome short term, in the longterm you f**k up your endocrine system with them. It's pretty not fun. They'll do miracles short term, but with stims you're more or less borrowing from your internal energy reserves. In Chinese medicine it's called Jing. When you get off stims you WILL be worse than when you started. It's the same as if a bodybuilder goes on steroids. Do they work? Well yeah, but later in life they pay consequences. It's literally the exact same concept as steroids, just instead of testosterone, you're artificially influencing norephrine, epinephrine, seratonin, etc, levels.
