Tradies buy the Ozito corded SDS rotary hammer all the time as it's powerful enough to do the job, and cheap enough to replace when they need to. It's rated at 5J of energy output. Currently $99.98 - Link
The Ryobi HP brushless cordless (RSDS18X) is only 2.5J, half the energy output of the corded Ozito, and costs three times the price at $299. Definitely not worth it unless you really, really need cordless. Link
That's really cool! How did you do the detection of who started it and what floor they're on?
That sounds incredibly frustrating. It's like suffering twice; once because you don't get the benefits of having the thing done, and again because you start beating yourself up for not being able to do the thing.
I feel very lucky that I had a close friend who was willing to do all the admin work to help me get diagnosed. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it all by myself.
I sought a diagnosis because I wasn't able to function in daily life. I genuinely believe that I would have become homeless because of my inability to get and keep a job. I was really struggling, and getting diagnosed and treated for it has changed my life in fundamental ways. It allowed me to access supports that were otherwise unavailable to me.
I still have problems with executive dysfunction and memory and those sorts of things, but I can actually function and have a life now.
In saying that, you don't have to have problems of that severity to justify seeking a diagnosis. If you think you might have ADHD and you think you might benefit from treatment, I encourage you to explore your options. It might end up changing your life for the better even if you think you've done alright for yourself so far.
It can be rather expensive though. Whether you think it is worth the cost will be up to you. I spent around 10% of my savings at the time to get diagnosed, and I am so glad that I did.
I do think the pool stuff would count as a habit. Do you have to make the decision to put your stuff in those locations? Or do you just do it, as if you've already made the decision?
Habits can be really hard. I really struggle with them as part of my ADHD. I could have written this post myself.
It might be worth considering an ADHD assessment. ADHD and autism commonly occur together
Could you give some examples of what you mean?
Usually they're used in thin devices where a bigger battery wouldn't fit. Lots of computer styluses take AAAA batteries, including the Microsoft Surface Pen. There are also some small flashlights and laser pointers that use them.
