And ‘parenting’ and the other things I’ve manage to choose. However, jobs I can’t stand I leave (eventually) One of the concerns over meds is that it would enable you to do those jobs you just don’t (and maybe shouldn’t) do.

lol, I don't think I take enough of anything to do things I don't want to or shouldn't do.

This has helped me to do the things that I want to do. It more helps on the task level and less the overarching job level.

It is so interesting how it manifests differently by different people.

I still don’t subscribe to ‘it’s all ADHD’ where everything gets lumped into this block of behavioral reasoning.

I think it’s at an OS level but I think we are just a little more sensitive than non neurodivergents. And that comes with some huge benefits as well as negatives.

No, part of the thing that has made this more successful than when I was a kid is I have spent quite a bit of time working on things like maintaining focus, prioritizing, time management, maintaining healthy sleep patterns. Additionally, I understand what is and isn't ADHD and what can be fixed with a stimulant. If you try to fix all your problems that way, it's not going to work.

When I was young, it was just 'here take this'. No help with understand what was happening or how to work on it. And I think that's a bad place to be.
