COME for the acrid taste, but STAY for the lack of caffeine!

Please elaborate. The one day I overdid caffeine, I too just felt jittery and had a hard time falling asleep that night. It was a few years later that I was diagnosed with ADHD. Is there any causal link between ADHD, caffeine, and jittery-ness.

From what I understand people with ADHD are chronically understimulated, so a stimulant like coffee can calm you instead of making you hyperactive - I'm simplifying of course.

When you say it like that it does sound strange. But I have to agree in my case at least. I don't know much about adhd except for the common tropes. but I guess there is a whole range to it. I am not someone who is super-active and jumping up and down all day long. But there is probably more to it.
