We learned that my son was ADD about 20 years ago. That's when I figured out my father and me both are ADD. Explaines a lot. I've been able to learn compensating techniques. It also helps to fall into the right job.

I don't get the inattentive ADD though...isn't that the first word in ADD (attention)?

You might try reading a book called "Now, Discover Your Strengths." It could help you understand the right direction to go for a job based on the things you naturally do well. There is a lengthy on-line test that points out your top five natural talents that can be most easily developed into strengths.

Good luck!
