Happens way too often to me.

edit: I had no idea this was such a common issue!

      It’s when it happens in excess that it’s ADHD. ND disabilities (from my understanding I’m not a doctor) are typically normal things that everyone experiences that are happening in excess. Everyone fidgets with things, everyone’s mind wanders, it’s totally normal to be distracted, but when it’s frequent and severe enough to interrupt your daily obligations does it become a disability.

        I struggle with learning how to program because I keep losing focus on what the code I’m writing does. I’m not diagnosed but it sure sounds like ADHD to me.

          Interesting, I have adhd and am quite the opposite, I love coding too much, the hyper focus kicks in and I can’t not focus on my code, fk eating, or using the bathroom, I’ll burn through every break I was supposed to take. Best employee ever I guess lol yah gotta find your passion, the thing your adhd brain excels at (your superpower some call it) and make it your career, and then focusing won’t be an issue at all! (in that one area)
