Like others I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, 31, 10 months ago and I have been taking medication since then. I am also in EU.

Nothing major to add, since there are some good comments from other commentators. Retrospectively I have realised ADHD has been perhaps an advantage in some areas. But additionally an absolute self sabatoge generating machine for the seemingly simplest of things.

Currently near the end my contract, being thinking more about the future. Full stack dev too. If you ever just want to chat and share stories of ridiculous periods procrastination, self doubt and future plans I'm always willing to chat.

I know speaking things out loud for me has lifted the veil of self doubt that can descend upon one after a bout of ill directed attention.

I was diagnosed at 25, about a year ago. I relate to the comment about ADHD being an advantage. I've often thought my brain is well suited to the information age. My home reflects this, I keep a lot of things in plain sight that stimulate my curiosity.

We live in times of unprecedented peace and prosperity, and rather than seeing my wiring as a liability, I see it is a competitive advantage. I may not have all the same strengths, but the ones I have can be very well leveraged.

Can you share what it was like to start medication?
