hey, how are they gonna pay for all their toys and ritalin?jk.
i actually work with a few ADD folks who are really good employees. i work at a relay service for deaf, hard of hearing, and speech disabled people. ADD folks seem to have been good at interpreting speech disabled callers; I think because it requires the ability to focus and then switch gears quickly.
our new 'lead operator' is an unmedicated guy with ADD (he decided to quit ritalin as an adult). the position requires him to respond quickly to any of the 100 people working at any one time -- and to move around almost constantly. who else could do it? :D
