The real measure is the level of harm. That's it.

My ADHD meant I couldn't hold down a job or relationship. You lose your job enough times and the depression that follows is inevitable.

That said, I can imagine a Dustin where I had stumbled into a different career, a different family situation. Then my ADHD might not have caused enough problems to be a disorder.




I sometimes wonder if it’s just a sign of being in the wrong career.

A lot of people chase the money in an area of general interest. But the actual tasks they are being paid for might simply not be what they are suited for.

If always think to myself if only brainstorming, ideation and online shopping were a career haha.
