Pure conjectural or anecdotal but it is my intuition that there is something to it

Different organisms react differently to the same chemical substances. There's a study linking ADHD and paradoxical reaction to stimulants:

Many people with ADHD have next to no reaction or react paradoxically to caffeine (coffee/black tea/cola) and other stimulants (nicotine, “Red Bull,” amphetamines).

As I'm writing this reply, I have not yet been able to find any other studies that delve deeper into the matter, but it seems like it's indeed a known phenomena.

Yup. I used to be able to chug a monster and go to bed. Then I got medicated and I can't do that anymore lol.

My son is ADHD and autistic and caffeine calms him down. Sometimes when he misses his meds we will give him some coffee or soda to get him through to his next dose.

Can confirm. The first line of speed gets me relaxed.
