Reply to comment by 4fuqssake in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

Because modern society is often not condusive to our good brain health. We have to find the few healthy pathways that are left to us. We would have been the bomb 10 000 years ago though.

Yeah, the majority of what's expected, like 9 - 5, show up on time, keep track of tens of different things at once etc. is definitely difficult for ADHD brains without good coping strategies.

I would argue some jobs (data, engineering, dev work, especially agency work) play into the strengths of someone with ADHD, but the structures we build around them are limiting, since output + time management is often top priority, and middle management doesn't want to spend additional resources looking after someone or introducing flexibility.

I wish I had the guts to risk my good salary to be my own boss in a freelance creative business. But the risky money aspect scares me
