The guide is only good for people who have received a diagnosis or are aware of their own behaviour. For the folks who don't aware of their own ADHD behaviour, they think it's completely normal to interrupt, to feel restless, to blame the job to be so boring, to plan for the immediate need instead of long term etc

A close family member exhibit the ADHD behaviour. Growing up, I thought that the normal adults are all restless talk over other people and only think short term. I unconsciously mimic the behaviour. The traits really hurt me during my early career because the traits come across as non-professional and blunt to others. I've since identified those traits and fixed my own behaviour. I've since advanced my career and increased my income quite a bit.

I brought up the topic with the family member and was interrupted.
