Driving a school bus is a good job with ADHD. There is a lot going on so it never gets boring. My route is for my district’s behavior disorder program. Every one of my passengers has ADHD. The teachers have told me many times that they want me back on this route next year. Since I have what they have, my mind works like theirs do. The short tantrums don’t bother me that much either. When they go off I bark right back at them, then everyone moves on- no disciplinary action required. Since they know one little slip-up won’t cause them grief at school and later at home, they cool off a lot faster.
My district does drug testing, a federal requirement, but bring a photocopy of your prescription with you and give it to the person that gives you the test. Tell the clinic up front what they will find and that it will be consistent with the prescription. When the clinic reports back to my management, it comes back as no illegal substances found.
