There are lots of developers working with ADHD.
It's something that can and should be managed.
Mostly like any kind of health related issue.

I was myself working with some brillant people with ADHD,
it was some of the best experience in my life.

The real issue is that people are ashamed to talk about it.

So you are doing something good by doing it.

Thanks! This is really encouraging to hear. I definitely hesitated putting it out there so I understand! I plan to talk about it more in the near future so I hope I can help reduce that shame.

Shame evaporates rather quickly when you find the safe space and the right people and you talk about it. so basically you did the right thing and should simply continue to do so!
