Number one strategy for people with ADHD is migrate to jobs where there is a lot of variety and complexity and things are changing all the time and lots of new interesting things to look into.

The maturity part which I struggle with is how to convert my curiosity into forward motion.

I believe that if you have ADHD you have to act like you are playing a different D&D character class than everyone else. You win by being your character and doing the things that character type needs to do.

I personally like to walk around aimlessly for hours lost in thought. If I can’t walk and have to be stuck indoors I can’t stop but keep researching.

Feels like you can never specialize with this approach, but maybe you become an excellent manager of a complex machine?
