When I first got diagnosed, I gotta say, I knew I could probably qualify as ADHD. I mean, my son had it. And my dad had a lot of the symptoms. Poor guy was an insurance agent! Nothing but paperwork, what agony for him!
Anyway, I figured I probably would qualify, but I was doing pretty well in so many areas of life, I mean I have a pretty good career going. But when I learned more, and read about the way it can impair, I could see that there was a whole lot of stuff, (failures and things I hated or didn’t do well at or screwed up again and again) that I had just figured were character flaws, weaknesses, or whatever. And in a way, they were. But what I started to realize was some of this wasn’t a choice. But I had a choice to actually start handing off the stuff I was lousy at, and actually work with others as a team. I couldn’t imagine there were people out there who wanted to be the accountant, but of course there are!
