It took me 20 quarters to get my BS in mathematics (in 1960’s) – along with minors in physics, EE, and philosophy. I got to play with really big toys – rockets at the Redstone Arsenal (Project Apollo). I retired at 55 because I was able to exploit the hyper-focus of my ADHD in my profession. I’m in my 70’s (is that senior enough?). I’m in the 4th generation of the 6 our family has identified as being ADHD.
I never was able to maintain a decent depression much over 24 hours, because something shiny and interesting always crossed my path and drew my attention away. Rather than wasting time on depression, learn about how ADHD works, then use that knowledge. One trick is to revise the world you live in – and the associated expectations. See the Canadian flicks “ADD and Loving It” and “ADD and Managing It”. Hollywood and Silicone Gulch (Fremont – San Jose – Santa Clara) could not survive without ADHD and Autism.
