Well as a kiwi I remember at the tender age of 11 going to Australia for the first time and finding a stick insect on the footpath about as long as my forearm the first time we left the hotel. That was fun. Actually I lived there a couple y

The premise is just warped from the start. "Hey kids, impaired executive function may make you more likely to succeed in life." I mean... what? Starting a company (or three) because your impulse control is shot is statistically mo

This actually has nothing to do with ADHD. It's badly named and badly thought out. It's actually reporting on a 2nd order effect sleep deprivation has via impaired executive function on impulsivity. Should be titled 'Sleep de

It would be fun to be that guy saying but dev/QA/prod should all look the same.

The minor upside has been I just don't do what I don't find interesting. So, my life has always been interesting. Often that's not been in a good way, like boss phones "why aren't you at work?" and I reply... &

It's a lot better recognized and studied than it was in the 80s and 90s. Especially the recognition that while for some it goes into remission (somehow???) or at least becomes sub-clinical, there are a large number of us who continue t

Emotional relief like "I'm not a shitty selfish person after all and it isn't my fault". But if you employ a tonne of ADHD coping mechanisms and they work for you it'll improve things a decent amount. I haven't

Getting diagnosed this year changed my life too. I'm sure at some level the standard science and advice still applies but it's truly as those mechanisms aren't likely missing in our brains, but it's truly remarkable how

Probably easiest thing to do would just be to coach and olympic team to victory and get a medal from the emperor. edit: interestingly I get 70 points, so maybe I don't need a medal from the emperor.
