My daughter went USMC. She had taken medication for ADHD years before but hadn’t for quite a while. Her ASVAB scores were great. She’s doing quite well and is basically the teacher’s (sergeant’s) pet, crew leader, and is almost done with her MOS and will have her first assignment in a few weeks.
As far as I’m concerned, the military is a much better choice for ADHD than universities. The way these youngsters operate, it’s easier for them to focus on hands-on tasks than book assignments for hours on end.
Trades are an excellent avenue as well. We’ll be upgrading infrastructure for a long time.
Electricians, linemen, HVAC, plumbing, cablemen, etc.
You are exactly right. When people with ADD/ADHD are interested in something, they are REAL INTERESTED. If such a person doesn’t have any co-morbidity issues, they will likely be excellent performers. That is a fact.
