I agree that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and will do better in certain jobs (not necessarily poor paying ones), and that this is nothing to feel badly about.  I decided to go into nursing long before I even knew what ADHD was (I didn’t know anybody who was diagnosed with it growing up).  I just knew that I could never do a “sit down” job, and went with that. 🙂  I am also certified as a personal trainer! (random temporary career change lol..)  I am not saying that having ADHD has never affected my job performance (it most definitely has), but I do feel that I am working with a lot of my strengths rather than against them.

I also have a friend with ADHD who is an amazing graphic designer. 🙂
