With the power of AI

Here's a TLDR of your text:

  • ADHD brains are well-suited to tech jobs. They thrive on the variety and urgency of IT work.
  • Success requires balance. You can't rely on high-stress situations to focus long-term.
  • Your experience is your asset. Learn to translate your instincts into process improvements others can understand.
  • You'll need new skills. Develop time management and task completion skills to progress.
  • Other ADHD-friendly careers exist. Consider EMTs, kitchen staff, or machine operators where focus and pattern recognition are key.
