You are citing one parent's experience as if she was an expert. And I'll add I am not but I have done my homework.

So far, I’ve been fairly lucky. My ADHD child takes quick-release Ritalin, what I consider an “old school” medication. We’ve tried them all, literally all of them, and this is the one that seems to work best.

Ritalin is not a replacement for Adderall. Adderall is a replacement for Ritalin since it is a better drug.

My son took some adderall in school when someone offered him some. Then he played the game like countless others.

So your son gamed the system to benefit himself when he did not need Adderall to begin with. And now you are complaining because of the Adderall shortages and he had to take ritalin.
