Baby Meth

Though the overwhelming theme of my thesis is to challenge stigma around atypical lifestyles, "Baby Meth" turns that around and instead suggests that there should be stigma around the normalized routine of prescribing some ADHD stimulants, which are controlled substances in Canada and many other countries, to children in an attempt to have them conform to neurotypical expectations. The image simply places a bottle of adderall in a setting obviously belonging to a child, prompting viewers to seek out what could be wrong with this combination of items.
