[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Offshoot of the other thread. DS is academically smart but has inattentive ADHD and poor social skills. He will be in a technical career but most technical roles also have a ton of organization politics and need the ability to build relationships with key leaders. What are the jobs for such kids.[/quote] Be Elon Musk More seriously...I think some people with this background do better in California with the bright nerds. That's why there's that motto "Move fast and break things". Also "Minimum Viable Product". These are not prosocial, politically skilled ideas. Also, I have a neurodivergent relative who did pretty well in a science career in California before the heyday of Silicon Valley but struggled in the Midwest and East. Among other things, people didn't like that he worked 9-9 instead of 8-5. Going West might just work out.[/quote]
