WHAT CAN BE DONE WHEN ADD OR ADHD (STILL UNSURE WHICH ONE HAS ME) EFFECTS YOUR ABILITY TO FIND A SUITABLE JOB?

[Daesin]

You might want to start with an accurate diagnosis. Always good to know what you’re facing, usually easier to find a solution. Good luck

you have rights if you get it classified. In US they have to make accommodations for you if you even need them. if you work in IT... almost everyone can relate anyway. Never ever mention it in an interview. You ask HR for what you need after. Don't know where you are in the job hunt so I can't be much more specific.

I agree with getting an accurate diagnosis, and this is something I'm considering, as I have come to realise( at the age of 54) that is it very likely I have ADHD too. Over the years I've learnt to manage it, but there have been times, looking back, that it's really affected my life. Especially when I hit menopause which is when I started experiencing extreme anxiety and panic attacks. The combination of these 2 things can be very overwhelming, so I recommend that you seek professional diagnosis and or support.ADD is now referred to as inattentive ADHD.

I read this book too. It really opened my eyes
