I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Such an awesome post (and series)! While I've never been diagnosed with ADHD, I certainly can relate to a lot of this.
The lack of schedule is definitely one that I can get bent out of shape about. I try to form a schedule but really really find it hard to keep up with it. Just hearing you talk through your methods for embracing made me feel a bit better about it — I'm not alone, haha! 😅
I also have to be pretty careful about my music choice and frequently find myself tuning into lofi beats or more recently experimental ambient music/beats... I really like stuff without lyrics and that doesn't have a distracting pattern about it. I also find that the ambient music helps to relieve some of my anxiety.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading more entries in your series! Thanks for sharing this. 🙂
