I am a project manager. This sounds completely insane for someone with ADD, but it isn’t. Project management is dealing with crises or planning how to avoid crises. There is always some kind of drama going on every day. The paperwork sucks and the tedious detail of the paperwork is maddening. So I find myself looking forward to the next crisis.
My wife and I are trying to get me a position with FEMA (in the US it is Federal Emergency Management Administration). We both laughed about that one, because I have made a career of fixing companies crises and then moving on because I get bored. At FEMA, I would be constantly going from crisis to crisis, running operations(no different from projects).
REPORT ABUSETF,
I am very new to this whole thing, so my chest is still tight and I am in the “OMG what do I do now?!?!” phase. My councelor and I are researching specialists in the area (SEATTLE) who know more about ADD than she does.
Thank you for your words. I have a way’s to go before I get to thinking this is a boon. I am educating myself, and surrounding myself with people who know FAR more than I do about ADD.
REPORT ABUSEI got hit with a double whammy: I have Dyslexia, which I have known about since I started high school.
Right now I am going through testing and evaluation, which is VERY frustrating to me. I am most of the way through the evaluation for ADHD. The results of that testing is giving every indication that I have both ADHD and Dyslexia. I would much rather fast forward to where we look at treatment.
I always wanted to be able to make high scores on my tests, and now that I did, these aren’t the tests I wanted to have high scores. Go figure.
It sounds like you guys are pretty far along in the process. Hopefully I will be there soon.

They make me feel totally out of control. Which is a good thing in this case and there are no consequences. Which at some level is relaxing. Does that make sense?
