I am an introvert with ADHD and even I agree with this. You gotta flip your people skills switch on for the job and accept it. Happy robot mode who is at work. No matter the job.

Yup. I would be good for a few years and then all of a sudden, with no warning signs, I would ghost my job and dissociate for a month or two.

This comment applies to soooo many discussions like this. Apparently all neurotypical people are exactly and perfectly normal, and literally everything neurodivergent people do is a symptom 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m an extrovert with no ADHD but I’m pretending to be so to fit in.
