Camille, Those are good examples. The trick to success on the job would be for the individual with ADHD to figure out ways to manage those things. Perhaps, for example, he/she could get really good about writing down directions, as they are given, so that they don't lose the steps and have to go back for more explanation. Or simply schedule themselves so that they break up tedious tasks with focused attention on other things that need doing, then go back and get the boring stuff done. GRIN Dr. Jane Jarrow
