Hi all. Amongst other problems, I have ADD (no problems with hyperactivity).

I've been unemployed for a year now. I know that the ADD affected my work and was part of why I was fired. I just couldn't keep up with the documentation. I anticipate that, and spend extra time doing it. But, even with medication, my time management skills suck.

More recently I lost a canvassing job, and time management was a factor there as well.

I've wondered about requesting reasonable accommodation through the Americans with Disabilities Act. Have any of you done this? What has been your experience? My career choice requires lots of paperwork. Anybody have tricks they use that work.

any thoughts?
