Knowing is half the battle.

I was one of those "gifted children that was too lazy" and my mother was one of those "nothing can be wrong with my child or it reflects poorly on me!" and I got diagnosed with full blown ADHD at 29.

Therapy and drugs are great. And I'm glad you were aware enough to get your child tested. Early is for their best.

My parents had a book titled "how to parent a retarded child". I guess they were trying?

I was laughing pretty hard when I found it as an adult, I can tell you.

My parents called me lazy and unmotivated when I didn't have an executive position at Google right out of highschool wile also saying I'm wasting my life on computers.

Got a "life sucks, then you die" any time I had any problems.

I just want a low effort life where I can be cozy. I'd probably taste test another gun if my job was stressful.

If you're tech inclined, look for tech positions at non-tech places. Sometimes they can be hell "we need you to be the entire technology division on the salary of a remote helpdesk worker", but there are rare places where you get to help and do cool tech stuff without the constant "climb the ladder or die" bullshit.

I got that one figured out. I get to hide alone in the server room and only actually do a few hours of work when things are actually broken.
8/10-The pay is a bit crap and I have to wear pants.
