I know a lot a people with ADHD (including myself) and most of them do not participate in ADHD communities because the disorder is not a big part of how they identify in life. They just accept and deal with their ADHD as best they can and get on with things.

I have ventured in /r/adhd from time to time and even commented on posts, but mostly I don't feel like the community has anything to offer me. I don't need any support and I've accepted who I am, so I participate in other communities that actually interest me.

Personally, I do both. I work a 9-5 using my skills to earn a living for myself. I also founded and help run a non-profit hackerspace. The job makes me money, and the hackerspace lets me give back to the community.

Hi I'm new too. Just trying to figure out how everything works here at the moment.
