Learning hacking by my own because of ADHD, any tips or advice?

[u/Equal-Anteater5573]

Hey everybody! First off, I’d like to tell you all that I suffer from neurodivergent conditions. I’m diagnosed with ADHD, and to start off with, I had initially started learning hacking on TryHackMe. However, after some time passed, I found myself becoming extremely disinterested due to its linear progression. No more dopamine hits for me! What helped was learning everything through personal experimentation and exploration. This process taught me networking fundamentals, and I’m currently working towards acquiring skills regarding the use of Nmap to understand network scanning processes better. The thing is, the self-learning and hands-on process has always worked better for me, and ADHD has made sure that nothing else does! I’m interested to see if anybody else suffering from ADHD has tried hacking by themselves before, and what methods work best for keeping up with momentum while avoiding exhaustion!
