My advice? Try everything. One thing I read is that ADHD people can actually do well at very simple, methodical jobs. No-brainers. Cause it allows us to tune out and just dream. When I was a student I had a job sorting different kinds of mailing containers at a government health lab. (Weird, I know.) And I could do it by feel and weight. There were like about six kinds, and I could tell by touch and a glance and the colour which bin they went into. I got so that I could do the job and actually read a book at the same time.

Dunno if that helps. But with everyone saying get a high stimulation job I thought it was interesting that we could also do something, pardon the expression, but mindless.

Maybe that’s why I like mowing the lawn and shoveling the driveway in winter.
