Did anyone "unlock" any cool powers (for lack of a better term. Obviously I want to be super hero) when they finally got treatment? (sh.itjust.works)

I've accepted that I'm a high performer generally but occasionally just get stuck in a lull where I can't do anything. My super power is realizing it's better to just take a nap or go for a stroll when I'm not going to be productive anyways.

I'm still working on this one

I've gotten a lot better at it but damn do I have room for improvement (I need to dodge "nap mode" more often IMO)

I'd say I'm about 60% successful at it currently

As someone with ADHD who has been a developer, a manager, an architect, and a tech lead... I give you permission. It'll actually make you more productive and make work suck less.

I totally agree that it takes effort to train yourself out of the "Don't be lazy" shame from growing up though.
