> Why does no one focus on the positives?
Because the negatives massively outweigh any positives? I know that there are some authors who are trying to sell the idea of 'ADHD as a superpower' just like there are other authors who are trying to brand autism or even surviving cancer a 'superpower'. But just because an opinion is contrarian doesn't mean it's right. How else would you sell a book in a saturated market?
These 'positives' you mentioned are kind of useless when you can't steer the direction of your attention but tend to hyperfocus on random things that change ever so often.
If you can manage to somehow make a career out of it, more power to you.
Personally, I have tried to learn coding for over 20 years now. By now I have started over for dozens of times (Pascal, Delphi, VB, C, C++, Python, JS, Rust) and still I have zero to show for it.
