Going by that logic, it would be stating no one should get married because most people have at least one form of mental issue or another. (depression, alcoholism, sociopathy, etc…) this kind of thinking has no basis in real life because each individual case will always be different. In my case, I have the combined type with little or no structure my day tends to fall apart and nothing gets done. My wife however provides the structure I need to get through the day and because I have more energy and work faster at most things than she does I make sure everything we need gets done. Therefore we have a symbiotic relationship that we both need to varrying degrees. Work tends to be a different story where I have to provide myself with the motivation and push to get through the day and of course I have an attrocious work history, yet when I started my own business in something I am interested in I have shown alot more adaptation and self motivation than most of my non-ADHD peers.
