Hello,
This is my first post, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes. My husband was diagnosed with ADHD a couple of years ago, and has had trouble keeping a job, controlling his emotions, maintaining personal relationships...all the things that go along with the diagnosis. I'm especially concerned about the job situation, though. I guess I've got a two part question. Most of the research that I've found as far as a person with ADHD holding a job is grim. But I refuse to believe that a diagnosis is, by default, a certain death to one's career. What are some resources that we can refer to that will help him to find a job where he can excel? Also, what are some ways that I can help him to manage his symptoms and regain his happiness and self esteem?

Hmmm....
I think someone responded, and I'm sorry, but I no longer see your reply and I didn't get to read it. In any case, I did want to say thanks for reading it and taking the time to reply to me. I'm just sorry I think my computer has eaten your message.
just wrote a similar post
I know this was posted a long time ago but I just wrote a similar post. I am wondering the same thing. Does anyone have resources or advice? I think the hardest part for my husband and I is the affect on self-esteem and overall happiness. It is a financially challenging, most more over by husband just feels like a failure no matter how much I try to encourage him.
How are you doing with this? Did you ever find any good resources etc?
