Caption: I still don't know why part of autistic/adhd diagnosis isn't putting you in a room with someone already diagnosed and seeing how quickly you bond.

It's because you mentioned the daily healthy dosis of an adult, which are multiple cups, and mention falling asleep. By failing to clarify that you mentioned that dosage of caffeine as the cause of the sleep, my assumption lead to the expectation that the sleep comes DESPITE the caffeine. Hence the substance abuse comment.

Also, one can abuse a substance without an addiction.

But yeah, sometimes I too fall asleep because of coffee, not despite coffee. It's mostly when I pick it back up after a week or so, but not always.
