We are capable of succeeding in modern corporations. I have met plenty of other people with ADHD at Netflix, Google and now Apple.
Edit: I was diagnosed with ADHD by neurologist and psychiatrist.
- falcolas 9y agoMe too (diagnosed ADHD, work in tech)! Prior to being medicated, however, I was frequently on the verge of being being disciplined or fired for being incapable of completing some projects. Medication made it possible to turn it into a reliable career with promotion paths. That said, "incapable" was a poor word choice. Not entirely inaccurate, however. I know of many people who end up shifting jobs a lot - smart but lazy is how the upper management sees them.
- tzakrajs 9y agoMy managers might want to fire me at times (and some have tried and failed) but ultimately I think I have enough value that it is worth keeping me around. I am glad to see medication is helpful for you! I have tried it, but I didn't feel like the benefits outweighed the risks (the irony).
