I don't relate to this because I was mostly in those programs in the 80s.

Is anyone here studying whether ADHD/autistic folks have higher levels of under-employment than the population as a whole, and if so, what can be done about it? Because DAMN, I am seeing that with so many ADHD/autistic folks.

In the 60s, 100-H (honors), as distinguished from the lesser 100-M (modern). Work deadlines got me overcoming the procrastination. The rest, I dunno, ask my grandkids.

My wife was screaming at this yesterday. I was never in any G&T program, probably because I was a Navy brat and I realized early on that I didn't need to work hard to get by in school.

I was way earlier than that but I still have the dream about having to take a final exam for a course I did not know I had. About once every six weeks or so. I talk myself down b/c it is always a high school course (IB Physics or similar) and I have a BA and JD so I must have finished HS. Right?

Random, interesting data point: I have lots of furries among my friends here - I’m not one but y’all are great; I’d probably die of heat stroke Anyway, this has the highest furry-to-normie ratio I’ve seen in a bit 😂 could just be who shared it, but some correlation wouldn’t surprise me lol

Yeah, this is me pretty much. I don't have ADHD, but perfectionism used to seriously get in my way of getting shit done. Nowadays my perfectionism is more of a tangent I'll end up wandering down rather than something that stops me from doing something I really want to do.
