ADHD is being intelligent and hard working but completely unable to decide a career path, so drifting through life into your 40s when you finally realise you have ADHD and have wasted the past 25 years.
Hey! We're not all hard working!
dude...
edit: I studied physics, quit, became a bass player, then a street musician playing percussion, then software developer, then translator, then studied classical music composition, then quit, then became conference interpreter, then learned neural networks and gave a seminar on using neural networks in contemporary music at Ircam Paris in 2018, then went back to studying composition at the university. This year I will finally graduate at 41. Hope to do my masters and become a college professor.
Good job, I'm stupid.
Hey nuh uh, I did all that having been diagnosed at 5, thank you.
If you're my husband the key is apparently to marry an autist and let her manage all your projects.
Shit gets done.
Is this blessed autist PM hiring any new ADHD devs???
My autistic wife is the reason our home hasn't inexplicably burned to the ground!
Is this really an ADHD thing?
Executive dysfunction can be a symptom of other things but also ADHD.
It is for me.
My nemesis, choice paralysis, how you are the bane of my existence.
That sounds more like depression to me?
But in my ADHD experience: I'd think of 1000 fun things to do, but do some minor hyperfixation thing(s) and then it's 3am and I did nothing I should have done or actually wanted to do 😵💫
It can go both ways. If it goes your way, I consider that a successful day. Its usually easier to just watch YouTube videos to no end instead of doing all the cool things you thought about.
Or imagining how sick it would be doing one of those activities without having the willpower to start.
This is me every weekend.
I'm getting pretty sick of "ADHD is specifically this"
That is not how it works.
