I'm calling bullshit on this for 30 years I've been staying up all night cuz I used to work graveyard in my late teens early twenties I'm now 47 but for 20 years and going on now I don't go to bed until around 10:00 a.m. I get up at 2:30 in the afternoon and I feel perfectly damn fine My social life is awesome I go fishing every Saturday and Sunday hang out with friends and go to school functions with my daughter go to church three times a week so I'm sorry I called bullshit on your statement maybe for young people you're diagnosis will fit but it does not fit me and I know a few other people that have the same schedules I do and nothing you described even closely fits us hell there's days we're all end up staying up for 36 hours

Yeah that pretty much sums up a night owl living on an early riser's schedule

Basically, being a night owl isn't a problem, except in cases where they need to wake up early.

I have ADHD and Level 1 ASD, I legitimately cannot sleep early, but I still oftentimes have to wake up early, so I'm significantly lagged every morning when working early.

If my work allowed me to work say, noon to 9pm, I'd be fine. But because society is build around farmers for some reason, everything has to be early in the morning.

It's patently ridiculous and contributes to a LOT of issues that neurodivergent people have.

Everything u say is wrong I sleep at 6 am and wake at 2 in the afternoon i still dnt have any problem i read n write at nide i feel so peaceful n no disturbance at all i hear no sound of annoying car running or people chirping n gossiping like in a day time I think night time is the right time to express what on your mind n delivered into reality it is the best time to create your imagination so for me i think day time would be fill with noise pollution n i couldn't process my mind n it not just annoying it's devastating 😂 no offense

You quite literally did not answer the question!

Being a doctor apparently doesn't mean anything but reciting biased and flawed data like a parrot.
