I think a better title and focus might have been “If you have ADHD, don’t get stuck ruminating about your career.” That’s good advice for anybody, but people with ADHD often ruminate too much, so it’s a double edged sword of having behavioral traits that can cause issues in your career and a brain that won’t stop ruminating about potential outcomes or actual outcomes. It causes more harm than good. And part of that is beating yourself up because the way your brain works doesn’t match with how the working world is set up for people with “normal” brains. It’s a bias people aren’t aware of at all and often ends up in some form of punishment instead of accommodation or empathy. And that gets your brain spinning on the whys and what could have beens and self doubt, over and over at high speed. Of course, if you’re getting fired over and over, it’d be helpful to seek treatment in the form of medication and/or therapy. Those are hopefully within your control. Untreated ADHD is living on hard mode.
