I have ADHD and have been working as a full stack dev for the last five years. If it's something that you find stimulating, being a programmer can be a good career choice. At least for me, I find that the combination of logical and creative skills needed as a developer allows me to stay stimulated and focused more than I've been able to at any of the other jobs I've had in the past. And since I interact with computers far more than people, I'm in a fortunate position where I can throw my headphones on and dive into a project 100% without worrying about having to talk too much with others about it or do something else to take my focus elsewhere. That said, I do take medication so I'm definitely being helped along in the focus department. The only downside that I have found is not specifically programming related, just the realities of working in an office. I find myself easily distracted by others in the workspace, and since I work at a big company there's always a lot of people moving back and forth going to meetings and stuff like that. I have headphones on 99% of the time and have a desk facing out a window and away from the rest of the office, but as anyone with ADHD knows it's impossible to NOT notice things, especially if it's someone/something moving at the edge of your peripheral vision, so I still find myself becoming distracted from time to time. But as time goes on I get better about being more disciplined and snapping my focus back to the screen when these distractions pop up. I sometimes cut out early during the week and come in on a weekend to make up the hours. I find that I am much more productive when I am the only one in the office and there's nothing to distract me.
