Re: what to do when at a crossroads in a career with ADHD

[billd]

Since there are as many flavors as ADD as there are people, and severity varies widely, and what your abilities are often has little to do with ADD, it’s hard to say. I know there’s a couple threads here on that very topic, but if I said artist – you’d probably say “yeah, but I can’t draw” for example. For every ADD person who is very successful at one job or career, I could find others who could never handle it – or don’t have those abilities.

Might be easier to suggest things to stay away from….. ?

I’m a brilliant auto -tech. Love it, am very good at it, it’s my first true love, but you need the interest, and the mechanical abilities, manual dexterity, etc. I’ve got great trouble-shooting abilities….. that may or may NOT be aided by having ADD.

I’m great at computer and network security and antivirus – among the best, but it’s my personality there, not my ADD, according to personality profiles (I’m well fitted personality-wise for law enforcement and security- it’s nothing to do with my ADD)

So…..
