Ask HN: Neurodiversity/ADHD Friendly Companies
Hello There! Former ADHD bro here.<p>I was diagnosed with ADHD 10 months ago. At that time my life was a BIG BLOB of MESS and CHAOS.<p>I started attending therapy sessions with a really good Therapist once a week since then.<p>After 6 months, I had sense of every way ADHD was affecting my life, but couldn&#x27;t figure out how to overcome the symptoms by myself.<p>My therapist recommended a psychiatrist, which prescribed Vyvanse 30mg (ADHD med), i started taking it 3 months ago.<p>It changed everything. I got promoted on my current job, started a post-grad on Data Engineering at a top University here in Brazil. It made me build structures in my life, organize it&#x27;s mess, gave me focus and HOPE. Productivity at it&#x27;s best.<p>I can&#x27;t think how I could overcome my ADHD without my Therapist and meds.<p>Before seeking a company that &quot;fits your problems&quot; i recommend you trying these first:<p>1. go to a really good therapist 
2. Make sense on how your ADHD condition affects you
3. Try to overcome it
4. Go for meds if needed (LAST RESOURCE)
5. Keep trying<p>Don&#x27;t mix up your ADHD anxiety with depression, it is the worst loophole to dive in.<p>Hope you find it all out
