Fellow spectrum friends, a little advice please?

I’ll keep this short. To my ADHD trade brethren, if you’re good at your job because it’s the thing you can hyper-focus on, does medication take away your superpower?

Quick context: My main tism/superpower is take it apart and put it back together and it works, no matter how complicated. Secondary superpower is electrical. I’m very good at it but enjoy it less and can get though on willpower. Outside of work I’m terrible at planning and executing anything I don’t enjoy. Task paralysis abounds. I’m worried medicating my ADHD will improve my home life but harm my ability/income/efficiency at work. What have your experiences been?

How many hours are you guys charging for walnut blasting/carbon cleaning on a DIG GM 5.3? Specifically, in addition to injector replacement. I’ll already be in there.

20 years in, I break 6 figures and I just f—-ing hate every single minute of it now. I stay up late just to delay the start of a new work day. The alarm goes off and I can’t believe I have to do it all over again. 4 dealerships and two independents over the years and they’re all the same. Incompetence abounds. If it’s not writers, it’s management. If it’s not management, it’s parts. If it’s not parts, it’s the process/business plan or the clientele. I’ve become a nihilist porcupine with nothing left but apathy. That is all. I’m not looking for solutions. I just want to piss venom into the void. It’s fine. I’ll plow through until I retire, as long as I live that long.
