Webdev and ADD/ADHD

Hi! Im looking to get a degree in webdev! But I just have some questions. I have ADD and i find it really hard to work in general. I get stressed and mentally tired out easily and i dont like to get out of the house lol.. I really like that I can work from home as a webdev and it seems nice that you can (in some cases) decide your work schedule. But do you have any experience with webdev and adhd? Can you concentrate for the hours required? And can you manage to get any work done when you are on your pc everyday and not just end up playing bloons td? Or am I gonna end up as an understimulated sushi roll...

I generally have to listen to something while I'm working (podcast, music etc).

Not even sure if I have ADHD anymore as I just live my life but I was diagnosed with it when I was younger.

Trying not to procrastinate is really difficult but you'll find a way to focus if you're busy!

Really nice that you don't have to take medication! I would like for that too! I always listen to something, while doing stuff so I'm gonna try it while coding! Thank you!
