If you have adhd please watch the start of this video. ADHD is _not_ a joke. Its dangers are highly under-emphasized.

Use him as the gold standard for research.

I came across his videos before. I don't like that much personally because he is so negative, judgmental, cynical and cocky. But I watched this and it confirms all the issues that I deal with on a day to day basis.

I should probably go into consulting where there are more immediate consequences or go into business myself working on my own startup where I am in control.

My colleagues already comment on how I am hardly at my desk. Thanks for the link, I will make it a point to watch all his videos and try to address them.

He is not either negative nor judgmental. He represents the top end of the field. His brother(who had adhd) died in a car accident. He is speaking soberly about a topic matter that is taken lightly.
