As someone with ADHD I would like to chime in here. “Like stopping sentences midway to chase butterflies.” It can be like that for some people with ADHD. But every person with an ADHD diagnose is not cast in the exact same mold. When speaking about ADHD, it’s crucial to be aware that there are three subtypes: predominantly inattentive (ADHD-PI or ADHD-I), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (ADHD-PH or ADHD-HI), and combined type (ADHD-C).[0] Please keep in mind that different people can have vastly different coping strategies and vastly different support from their partner, family, etc. And then there is medication, which can make an enormous difference for some people. ”I find it utterly incompatible with being an engineer.” Nope. That’s just incorrect. ADHD can make someone’s life very challenging, but those challenges are not necessarily unsurmountable.
