njadd,

I work in the social services field. I don’t want to be more specific than that, since my employers aren’t aware of my ADHD and I’ve been advised by my job coach not to tell them. I’ve been working for a year and 1/2 PT, but at a good rate of pay. The job does not call for much organization and I’m moving around a lot, so it’s good for someone like me.

I meet with a job coach once every two weeks (once a week when I was unemployed). We go over problems at work, whether related to my ADHD or not. Sessions last about 1/2 hour (1 hr. when I was unemployed). While unemplloyed, the job coach worked with a job developer to find suitable work for me. It was up to me to make the contacts.
