Hi Sheil99....

My son ( who is 30 ) has ADD and has worked in a wharehouse for the
past 10 years. He loves the job and also racks up as much overtime as
he is offerred.

He now makes over $ 20.00/hour and owns his own home. He and I feel
that his success at his job may be a result of his ADD, as his
productivity levels surpass all the other employees.

Good luck !!
