    Update. I have since received a new position in a new firm. I work as a data entry person in the accounting department. The company I work with not only is intolerable of discrimination of any kind. but very acceptable of me. Although some of the workers have difficulties with the speed in which I do my work, they all accept I have a disability in ADHD. They bless me with patience and encouragement in learning to do new tasks when they come up. At first working here was difficult as I was placed in a booth shared with another worker who introduced me to what being bullied in the work place was, and how intolerable the world was about people who are disabled. I was too upset to share it with even my supervisor. It took another worker overhearing what was going on to put a stop to it. Even at 51 life can be challenging. I had been protected at my old work place against such behaviours. I had never experienced it. The bosses informed everyone that there is zero tolerance for that kind of behaviour. I know sitting still and being bouncy is my issues. but I cannot be medicated due to other medical situations. So I am now working in my own cubicle and am allowed to listen to quiet music to help me focus. I like my new job. and am learning how to walk instead of run. LOL..

    I wonder if there is any natural treatment out there.

    michelmdubois I thankyou. It is great to hear someone else has to work alone.

    I have been working at my job for thirteen years and when they talked about putting me from my isolation booth. (An office with no windows and no distractions unless people came in then I had to talk.) I panicked. I started telling them the place they wanted to put me in was to small. to near people. to noisey. I made a lot of excuses. I to work better when no one is there to distract me. I also have to teach new people who come on staff how to work with me. My senior boss is awesome in teaching them as well. Sometimes new people make remarks but I try to ignor them.

    Getting this job was a blessing after the interview I was sent on and the people tried to back out of the room via the wall when I said I had ADHD. they thought it was some sort of critical disease. I was not prepared to attend anymore interviews. then I was offered the job I have. It has had its moments but I love it.
