I wanted to become a dev 12 years ago, when it was still cool.

Needless to say that I haven't, even if doctors I talked to refused to diagnose me with ADHD, my ASD and BAD and anxiety from many things kinda make it not a very good direction.

So - now I could probably become a dev, with the experience gained. But it's really not the time when this is a good choice LOL.

Have you seen a psychiatrist or were you talking to a GP? I got diagnosed with ADHD 3 different times in a 15 year period without a problem. Only stuck with the meds the last time about 4 years ago, and it was a game changer.
