Pretty easily; it's keeping the job that's the trick. I haven't really figured that one out yet.
My brother lost 24 jobs until he found one with a boss who knew how to deal with him. It didn't help that my mother didn't raise him properly "because he was special" and basically the boss had to teach him things like dressing properly, personal hygiene, and not buggering off on vacation without giving notice.
Same same. My SO gravitated to a position (producer) that actually allows them to utilize the ADHD traits in their job. Appatently quite a few of the producers in the company have ADHD.
Me, well I come with autistic features among others and the longest I've worked in the same place was like 4 years - and that's because it was related to my special interest and the others working there were spicy as well. Oh and I had a 4-day work week, which seems like the maximum for me from which I can still recover (if the work is otherwise sustainable). Apart from that my work history is just random shit I've done for a few months before burning out or part time/gig courier work. I'm hoping to be a part-time researcher part-time mechanic or something like that in the future, I'd like to think that would balance things out nicely.
