A lot of people are speaking about medication, which is great, but I will give a different perspective. Getting the diagnosis made me a better and more empathetic human being. Getting the diagnosis allowed me to be open about this with my peers, and understand that while I am flawed in a way I can't really control anymore. I will never have focus, but I pay off by being passionate. It helped come to terms that I will never be a specialist, and accept that I am a generalist, and that's how I bring value to the world. Nowadays, I bring ADHD and generalism during interviews, because not every company has processes setup for the kind of work I enjoy doing. It made me better understand why my partner is not able to take the same risks as I do. For example, if I don't like my work I just quit, I don't overthink. But risk-taking behavior is an ADHD trait, so it makes sense that other people don't want to take as much risk as I do, and in our relationship it's actually good we have someone more stable. The diagnosis helped explore my frustrations, helped me be ok with the fact that I will change hobbies all the time, that I will change jobs all the time, that I will change roles all the time, because that makes me happy.
