Do you *fear* employment?

I already struggle with applying for (US) jobs; ADHD and executive dysfunction

Any tips for adapting to adulthood (ADHD)?

Any tips for adapting to adulthood (ADHD)?

I'm a teenager; but I'm worried about my adulthood future because I don't know (reliably) good methods to adapt to my ADHD (and Autism).

I struggle with working on my projects; even when I take ADHD meds (irregularly now), I still struggle with focus. (The result is unsurprising; ADHD meds are usually assistant tools, not a cure.)

All of those survival styles seem like a pain though. (I haven't tried actually them.)
