The first thing to choosing a career that’s a good fit for you is to understand the way the ADHD brain works. It’s motivated by urgency and interest. It is NOT also motivated by importance like neurotypical brains. So a field where you are very interested or where there’s some sense of urgency is a good place to start.
Then, add in the layer of what you feel like you’re good at and like to do.
Here’s more on finding a career that works for you:
