What career paths fit the ADD adult?
There is no right answer but hyperactive ADD adults tend to work in skilled trades or sales. Many develop their own business. Generally work that allows them to use their high energy level, requires some risk taking, and offers some novelty and change are acceptable. For non-hyperactive ADD, there may be a preference for structure and a steady but not intense flow of work. Investigative or scientific work may fit. Technician or engineering may be acceptable. ADD does not limit anyone. The ADD adult can work successfully in any field provided they develop coping skills or delegate aspects of their job that are a weakness.
