Ava and Rick Green talk about the making of the smash-hit documentary that is walking millions to the sometimes challenging, sometimes funny reality of adult ADHD.

The social impact of ADHD can take a toll, not only in personal life, but also in the workplace. Sometimes a job is spared or someone is promoted because of the ability to form and maintain social relationships in the workplace.

The transition from school to the workplace is a challenge for people with ADHD. The demands are higher and the willingness to accept lapses is lower. The law provides some help, but its protection is limited and not easily obtained.

Teenagers and young adults with attention deficits have a wide range of intellectual abilities and interests and may pursue a wide variety of vocations. Selecting the right career–one that maximizes strengths and minimizes deficits–is crucial and will require more planning.

Summer employment offers teens and young adults with ADHD an important opportunity to explore career options and master basic work ethic skills.
