Since being diagnosed and medicated itβs the total opposite for me.
Before I needed some background music - electronic or hip-hop in any language but English (to avoid my brain focusing on the lyrics).
Now with meds I sit in silence all day.
Some things (code, writing docs) I can only do them with music in the background, usually music that is either downtempo, instrumental or both (for the most part Pink Floyd, Sting, Mogwai, Morcheeba or several jazz/fusion artists).
Without music it 10x harder for me to get those activities going.
