    I do. Also, I am old(ish) so I have had many years to come to terms with what I can do well and where I struggle.

    In this case, I didn’t want to use it as a crutch or an excuse. After reading the number of awesome replies this morning, I realized I should have probably framed my comment differently.

    People here put some real time and effort into giving some solid advice and I didn’t expect that.

    Edit: As a pure example, this is the third or fourth edit of this comment. Words are challenging, and programming is very similar in that regard.

      Thank you so much for your reply. Your comment was so recognizable to me, and I’m in the process of being diagnosed with ADHD.

      Edit: I want to say that I do feel sorry for asking such a personal thing about you. I’m not young either, but just now coming to terms with it and figuring out that this is the reason why everything I do goes as it does. To recognize it in the wild is absolutely weird.

        No worries! I am generally very open about it. (Your comment was recognizable to me, actually.) There is a very specific non-malicious bluntness that comes with the condition, actually.

        But yeah, you have been practicing dealing with it your entire life. Treatment just helps a ton.
