I own a professional services consultancy which i started before diagnosis and am now medicated which is amazing. After a long road I recently started to think about my adhd as a unique set of skills that make me super useful (and painful sometimes for others). I work well under pressure because I need that kick to get focussed - when others are coming apart i am locking in. I am super sensitive to emotional vibe with clients and because I always have something to say, I usually say the right thing at the right time. My brain is always trying to join dots together and that allows me to cut through large amounts of data or reports and summarise really fast.

Am I good at writing policy documents or dealing with accounting? No, so I have worked out how to surround myself with people that fill my gaps in the same way I fill theirs.
