[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious how then transition to life works out when suddenly there are no accommodations?  DH and I are really struggling with this question, so no offense intended. [/quote]

You find a job that fits your strengths and you also use workplace accommodations available through the ADA. Also work is very different from school, and the stressors are different so someone who needs extra time for an exam may not encounter a similar issue in the workplace as few jobs require exams.

And you still get distracted and cruise the net when you should be finishing up a presentation for work! - says the ADD inattentive type woman. As someone with ADD, and with two kids with ADD, I agree with the concern that the accommodations will never stop. And unless you're going to work for the feds, I'm really not sure how accommodating most workplaces will be to ADD/ADA. I hear "jokes" in the workplace all the time about ADD, I guess I hide it well, but it's very hard. My husband bears the brunt of it! [/quote]
I see your frustration.  Are there careers you can suggest or discourage?  My ADD DD is currently throwing out Accounting as a possible college major.  I'm an engineer/lawyer so I really don't know but it seems to me that Accounting would not be a good fit for someone will little attention to detail.  [/quote]
