I often hear that children with ADHD get disability, but I would imagine there are other things going on besides ADHD in order to get disability. People with ADHD can be extremely productive, energetic, creative. and get a lot of things done. They often can run circles around other people in terms of getting work done, so some employers love them. It depends on what type of job you can get and the environment. For example, people with ADHD work well with computers because it is hands-on so they make great software analysts, web designers, etc. Anything they can do with their hands - art, construction, cooking, writing, making things are all good choices, or physical work like farming, moving, construction, etc. So, it is unlikely that someone with pure ADHD with no other condition could get disability. In addition, the judge would want to know why that person was not medicated which makes ADHD symptoms quite manageable. If you are working and have not been able to keep your job for 6 months, reconsider the type of job you are doing and/or the environment in which you are working. Are there lots of distractions and lots of interruptions, chaos ? If so, maybe you could chose a different job or environment. Also, if the medicine you are on is not helping your symptoms you can change medicines or you may want to consider re-checking your diagnosis. There are other conditions that symptoms are similar but they are not ADHD.
