Summary:
"We know that Attention Deficit Disorder makes it tough for children to focus in school. But what happens when those kids grow up? How can they make the transition to a successful professional life? And how can newly diagnosed adults meet the challenges of the workplace? David Greenwood, an ADD sufferer who now works as a PR consultant, answers the question for anyone who wants to thrive with ADD or ADHD - not just survive! Learn how to: Identify the major features of Attention Deficit Disorder and become aware of how they affect aspects of adult life, particularly in the office. Tailor a career to minimize the effects of those symptoms. Highlight the positive characteristics of Attention Deficit Disorder, such as hyper-focusing and creativity, and leverage them to achieve professional success. Includes case studies, testimonials from ADD/ADHD specialists, and numerous action plans for making Attention Deficit Disorder work for you. David Greenwood was on the drug Ritalin for many of his childhood years. He was hyperactive, unfocused, and faced many academic challenges in school, including flunking out freshman year at a vocational high school - a clear case of ADHD. For him, ADHD has given him a creative and energetic edge in the business world. In writing this book, he set out to find others who also felt that ADHD was, in fact, a gift if managed properly."--Provided by publisher.
