> ADHD in these environments is a weakness.

It has always hurt me immensely.

The focus issues alone would drive managers to have kittens - I would latch onto something interesting, and could not break off to handle the “grey goo” of some essential aspect of work for nothing.

Plus, the time blindness is absolutely brutal.

It's a terrible affliction for career advancement however anecdotally it seems like there is always one or two ADHD type developers in any org who seem to bring something valuable to a team (enough to be tolerated and sometimes appreciated).

Also I think it's possible to be almost as productive doing the grey goo work in a supportive environment, good luck finding a supportive environment though!
