Working in the kitchen is ideal. I think I'd die behind a desk.

I still haven't found it. Two completed professional bachelor's degrees as a teacher and occupational therapist. But too many demands. My path in the job system has been/is a jungle and I hope to find something better suited for me. More structure without becoming boring. Suggestions? It hurts to end up here every time and feel like you're fumbling in the dark.

I'm currently working in a kitchen on dish washer duty, and it works great! I get to do my tasks how I want to, the work times are flexible, and I get plenty of movement and exercise which my ADHD loves.

It depends on the days! There are days when I just want to sit down and do nothing and other days when I have so much going on with deadlines and I love it! Today, my focus decided to appear and I reviewed a bunch of contracts, did a risk assessment and other smaller tasks, so I'm really happy

Hey! I’m the founder of this app, and I have ADHD myself. It’s honestly one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever had. No boss, which is great — but it has its downsides, because I have to somehow motivate myself. And it’s still really early stage, so you have to figure out how to make it all work as you go. But I don’t really see it as a job. It’s more of a calling — work that feels like it was meant for me, and my way of giving back. And it fits me better than anything I’ve done before. My previous jobs were already pretty ADHD-friendly. I was a Product Manager in tech — you touch design, development, QA, strategy, everything at once. Before that, I worked at a creative agency — writing scripts, coming up with concepts. Pure creative work, but for clients. It was fun at first, but I spent way too much time in my own head. Too detached from reality. I lasted a bit and realized it wasn’t for me — I’d get lost in my own imagination.

I really don't know 🤣 I'm a neuropsychologist and have been for 11 years now. Is it suitable? I have no idea. Maybe not, since some days I feel like the cognitive tests are a test for me just as it is for my patients haha But I like it and I can honestly say I'm good at it. I do have many flaws, though...writing patient reports sometimes feels like dying and its what I most struggle in my career, because it requires deep focus and can be boring/repetitive. I also fail a lot with deadlines, I guess. But it doesn't stop me from doing it...I seriously like it, but some stuff is harder. I believe all jobs are like that (?). Meds help a lot and with time I also developed my own strategies.

I‘m self-employed as an architect for garden and landscape design and that’s pretty perfect. Although I suck when it comes to taxes and some specific office stuff 😅 but being able to go with my changing level of energy and own timing is gold.

I’m a paralegal so I’m usually writing a form letter, or performing research of repeat topics. For me it helps keep me focused because it’s predictable and task centered.

I don't know if being a university student can be considered a job (I really don't think so), but I wanted to tell you that writing my master's thesis devastated me. Why? Ask my brain. A continuous block. I finished it yesterday after months and months of work, I still can't believe it.

I do pretty well at my job mostly because I work on a computer and can set a list of tasks every day that I can check off when they’re complete
