ADHD in the workplace
We've discussed in this community some of the different drawbacks and benefits of ADHD. You can find a great discussion about the upside of ADHD here.
When talking about the benefits of ADHD, I'm often reminded that some of the items on Paula's list (multi-tasking, out of the box thinking, creativity) are generally helpful skills in the workplace.
I found an interesting article on this topic that I wanted to share, Dave Taylor's "Are entrepreneurs all suffering from ADHD". In the article, Taylor lists a number of additional ADHD related behaviors that often come in handy at work.
For those interested in the subject, there's also a great blog, updated daily, with information about ADHD in the workplace: http://www.addexecutive.com/
What do you think? Is ADHD a boon in the workplace? or is it a hindrance?
