Oh brother, how I wish you were right. I am 36 and ADHD is still taking heavy toll on my personal and professional life (I am in IT). I consider myself intelligent and can easily get my work done but maintaining relationships and dealing with people is becoming increasingly difficult :-(
- zengid 9y agoI'm sorry that ADHD has had a negative affect on your life. Is it harder to complete tasks that aren't self motivated? I think that's what I was getting at: ADHD symptoms sound like an authority figure complaining that their subjects wont obey commands. I personally find it hard to maintain focus on 'external objectives' that other people set for me, but if I want to create something I can usually muster up the focus to do it. Not always, but if it's something I really care about I will maintain attention long enough to see it through.
