Where are these high functioning ADHD people? The adhd person I know I’m my life can’t really get things done in a reliable way.

Hello it's me, high functioning non medicated adhd (or some form of) person.

I do extremely well in my tech-centric job because of exactly what the post is talking about. I do fall short on longer term projects (forget about them until last minute) but most of my job is more in the moment, which works well for me and my skillset.

Edit: I guess that's ultimately the thing right, it's possible for the work or job to fit with an ADHD mind, but many jobs do not.

Imagine being a Financial Auditor / Accountant with ADHD.

I'm willing to bet they don't exist.
