Just wanted to let everyone know here that I relate to having trouble with keeping a job due to ADHD. Until my recent job I rarely stayed in one position for more than 6 months to a year. Thanks to meds and hard HARD work I have stayed in my present job for 7 years. It hasn't always been easy - I struggle with boredom and self-destructive tendencies all the time.
Having a supportive family and a good med regimen helps a great deal.
Just wanted to say I've been there and understand what it's like.

Glen - Thanks and congratulations to you! My longest stint was 2 years, maybe 3 (big maybe) but I can't really remember as I've had many jobs. I am currently bored/stagnant in my job. Hoping that they find something else to challenge me soon. I can't afford to look for another job and in this economy??
My kids know about my ADHD and so does one sister. She has been a wealth of support for me. I have one friend at work who knows. I'm very careful about revealing stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
