ADD
and Worklife
"The point is not to change you into a non-ADD person,"
says Weiss, who has ADD herself and is the author of ADD
on the Job, "but to make adjustments for they way
you are. To use an analogy from nature, if you take a cactus
out of the desert, and put it in swamp and it goes rotten,
you don't give it medication to keep it in the swamp."
The
ADHD Entrepreneur
"The majority of business owners exhibit ADHD characteristics".
