[quote=Anonymous]Not discouraging the trades but there are other jobs where you aren’t in an office. My brother with adhd loves teaching — he is up and moving and talking all day. A lot of trial lawyers have adhd — with the dyslexia law school and the bar might be a slog but it is doable particularly if he goes to an easier school. Stuff like criminal law doesn’t typically require a ton of reading (unless you’re doing financial crimes) and those folks are on their feet all the time. The ability to see through BS, make persuasive arguments on the spot, respond to changing dynamics is more important than memorization or reading dense material. I’m sure there are others like this but that’s what I have experience with. I think the most important thing is to find something he finds fun because then it will all be easier.[/quote]
