People with ADHD are known to pick up a million hobbies, books and art forms but struggle sticking to them, because the initial stimulation from novelty is stronger than anything else. Playing a sport or an instrument is fun, but getting good at it requires strong discipline, precisely because it's not fun. The only thing that truly helps with this is the right type and dosage of meds.

- LoganDark 3y agoThose things aren't necessarily "long-term fulfilling" for people with ADHD. The only things that have been that way for me are chatting with friends and programming. Everything else (and trust me, there's a lot of everything else) I instantly get depressed that I suck, give up, and lose the ability to ever try again.
