Reply To: Caste System for ADHD

@ADDled, I think you bring up a good point. I don’t doubt that untreated ADHD may limit career possibilities or career advancement however not being reasonable about expectations could set us up for failure. Not that failure is a horrible thing if we learn from it. We don’t want to be so timid that we don’t take any career risks. I wonder if we attach too much of our identity to our occupations. It’s like saying to ourselves whenever I become a doctor, lawyer, designer then I’ll be happy and people will accept me but if I don’t get that then I’ll be miserable and undeserving of acceptance and my place on earth. What do you think?

Thanks,

Damon
