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
