[quote=Anonymous]I've never been diagnosed but tend to suspect that the reason I'm not where I want to be career-wise is that I have some form of attention disorder. As is often the case with girls, I was quiet in class and got good grades so no one cared that I was bored and spaced out all the time. As an adult, I've done ok, but have had trouble focusing on a career path and am getting frustrated seeing people with comparable skill and education get ahead of me. In any case, I recently moved from being in a job with limited variety to a consulting environment where my assignments are much more diverse. In some ways, it's great to have the chance to work on EVERYTHING. In others, it's hard enough to adapt to a new job without having so many things to have to be good at. So now I'm missing specialization. Has anyone found from experience that you prefer to be a generalist or a specialist? Which is better for people with ADHD, do you think?[/quote]
