    I don’t think I have ADHD however, it was often the norm to try to cultivate a ‘jack/jill of all trades’ skillset if you weren’t born wealthy.

      I’m sure thats part of it. My schedule for this week includes preparing eight cisco switches for deployment in a distributed multi vlan environment. Rebuilding my daughters iphone XR and reassembling a 2000 dollar 3d printer with a bad linear bearing and two questionable steppers. On top of that I’ve finished a remix of a keychain in freecad and started on modifying another fidget for two color printing. I don’t think I would know how to do any of those things if I had been born in to money.

      I have a coworker who is in his mid twenties who has undiagnosed ADHD and this is the first job he has ever had. He was hired as a favor to his family. He has never wanted for anything in his life and it shows. He isn’t stupid he just hasn’t ever had to struggle for anything. Its maddening to me. He thinks I don’t like him but in truth I just want him to realize he has ADHD. It wont do any good to tell him if he isn’t willing to accept it.
