As a university student with ADHD, all I gotta say you just needed motivation -- and usually you will get exceptional result since we got a double edged sword -- hyperfocus.
Without this blessing (and a curse) we aren't able to achieve anything, because we will become very lax, lazy and procrastinate, and that's not the normal kind of procrastination, it's a force of nature: that if you ain't interested in something, you will never get it done, you don't even want to take a look of it in your eye, just like you simply don't want a very badly structured or boring course. This is one of my excuse of being academically underperforming
Fortunately, it is easy for us to get interested in something, but you can only select a few at a time. We are hyperactive, but it doesn't mean we have enough energy to achieve every interesting thing too.
Again, as a (probably adult) ADHD patient, all you needed are motivations, a curiosity, an intuition of interest to do something. Then when hyperfocus kicks in, we are able to get things done -- usually really incredibly.
Otherwise, don't expect us to produce any positive outcome, not even a little. This is what makes our life tough though, because although we are outstanding in some cases, but your general productivity is directly associated with your personal interest for something who suffers from ADHD.
Thus, this makes us a very unreliable workforce. We are more like catalyst -- normally we don't react, but we speed things up FAST when the prerequisites are met.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
