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!

Its me, I'm the autistic wife to a completely dysfunctional ADHD husband. I am tired. Tell her thank you.

Is this really an ADHD thing?

[–] kubica@fedia.io 43 points 3 days ago

Executive dysfunction can be a symptom of other things but also ADHD.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 days ago

It is for me.

[–] sgtlion@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

I think maybe literally every person I know does this

I'm getting pretty sick of "ADHD is specifically this"

That is not how it works.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

devil's advocate: "[thing] is" has become internet shorthand for "a common attribute of [thing]" likely due to microblog character limits

that being said I do get a "it's ALWAYS like this for ALL OF US" vibe from a lot of these types of posts that is uhhhh not great

My nemesis, choice paralysis, how you are the bane of my existence.

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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 😵‍💫

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Or imagining how sick it would be doing one of those activities without having the willpower to start.

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

FUCK.

Happened to me today!

ended up listening to loud music on the new home amplifier at least

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ooh, which one did you get?!

[–] asbestos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Please don’t answer or I’ll have to waste 3 days researching amplifiers

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

I’m looking forward to three days researching amplifiers!

This is me every weekend.
