[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of the people I know or have known with diagnosed ADHD, medicated or not:

Executive/entrepreneur
Designer in consulting (and entrepreneur)
Risk manager, previously a nurse
Admin with a strong background in science - I consider her to be underemployed but also think she gets in her own way, which I think is more related to her personality than her condition 
Project/program manager for the federal government 
Lawyer for the federal government

I have found people with ADHD to be very intelligent, but do have a hard time with time management and become easily overwhelmed. There also seems to be an impulsivity component.  I don’t think there are any “off-limits” progression, but encouraging and fostering self-awareness is really key.

Self awareness comes with age and mistakes and sometimes medication and therapy, but these are harmful stereotypes. I have seen so many unkind posts about ADHD on DCUM. It’s not surprising that so many people don’t self report ADHD to employers. [/quote]
