Sandy here. Posting from Wisconsin USA. I graduated from university in 2010 with a degree in computer information systems...aka software development. I had been dxed with severe adhd and did well with accommodations. I have significant issues with directionality. They're coming back out as I study Leetcode (prep for technical interviews). But a dx is half the solution. If i have a name for it, I can find ways to cope with it.
So, I'm here to find out more about this aspect of the adhd and ways to problem solve it. There has to be an answer.

Hi Sandy and welcome
So often dyspraxia appears to experience a lack of recognition and acceptance in the USA and Autism and ADHD seem to be the more common diagnoses.
There is much crossover between the traits of different neurodivergent conditions so it can be difficult to determine what the traits are actually indicative of.
Trying to be kind to and patient with ourselves isn't always easy when we're trying to fit in a world/society more geared towards those who think more Neurotypically. It's a difficult balancing act!
