Go to these site's. This is a GREAT resource for us poor performers. I can't begin to tell you the nightmare I have had with previous employers. At my last job I spent a lot of time researching and preparing a letter to my employeer requesting accomodations. Before I could give it to them I was laid off.

You can ask for a "modification of the policy" which the EEOC says can be a form of reasonable accommodation. Read their information here: http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/acco...html#workplace

JAN has some ADD and Bipolar publications that might be useful to you. They are on the website here: http://www.jan.wvu.edu/media/adhd.html and http://www.jan.wvu.edu/media/BiPolar.html.

I am working again, and the stress at my job is making me manic, I had to leave work because my back and neck are full of spasms. I also have ADHD. The job is 12 hour shifts, standing in one position, I can take breaks, but with the anxiety and irritibility Im experiencing it's torture. My employer does not know of my disabilities I'm 2 months away from getting into the Union. Every day is a challenge. Good Luck
