I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 17, after many years of living with it. I decided I would not take drugs for it. I was afraid I would lose my creativity and that kind of stuff. I started rescheduling my tasks so the most boring ones would get the time of the day I would me most inspired.
It helped for a time, but I couldn't stay in the same place for too long.
After some years frequently changing jobs, friends and hobbys, I finally found my place.
I've been programming since my childhood. Sometimes, ADHD helps (giving ideas on how to solve problems), some other times, it gets in the way, making me lazy to solve some repetitive problems.
After 4 or 5 different jobs, I found one where it doesn't get repetitive. I work in projects that last around six months. Each project uses a different language, with different teams and tools and routines. It's been like heaven.
After I started working here, my whole life improved. I stopped growing tired of people and could finally keep the same friends for a long time. I even started a serious relationship.
