I have ADHD and have had to work as a self-employed consultant for these reasons. ADHD has caused me a life of chaos. Aside from the "fitting in to corporate requirements" I just have absolutely no chance of stability. Chaos, risk, impulsivity, drugs, drink ... all these things are required to keep dopamine levels at a functional baseline. Get me coding or debugging an interesting problem, and i'll neglect to eat or sleep to get the job done. I'm so thankful my brain finds coding (some of it) stimulating enough to earn a living from it. Without coding, i'd be dead or in prison.
