I am an adult with ADHD,during all the years of school and teachers that kept telling my parents I was capable of doing the work I just didn't want to do it, if I would have been diagnosed it would have been back when ADHD was called minimal brain dysfunction, now more commonly known as ADD/ADHD. I have been an educator, counselor and now just want to be retired as I am tired of individuals who work in the field of education and counseling and don't get ADHD. I am in trouble with my current job because I am not a "suck up" and *kisser.. my co worker has done numerous things that are considered violations of our positions, I have not said anything to the owners, but let me have one slip of the lip and I am now on conditional terms at my job. I never cheat on my hours, and I do not make numerous calls to the home office just to visit or chit chat as I don't have the time. Why is it that I am constantly searching for what I did wrong and trying to fix it so I stay employed? I am a very strong advocate for individuals who have ADD/ADHD as I have lived the life myself and understand what it is like to walk around in a fog sometimes.... the true meaning of life hopefully I will find someday!
