If you didn't already, I think you need to talk to him about how his words impacted you. That's part of the whole process...learning how to communicate in the moment. I'm still not very good at it, but therapy helped immensely.

He also probably needs to better explain what he means. I think he might mean that it was the perfect job choice for a man who wanted to be a police officer, and whose skills and abilities (including those which ADD offer, like being highly intuitive & curious) suited the job so well. I don't think he meant that you had this problem, ADD, and had to hunt for a job that you could do with that deficit. In this case, ADD would make you better at your job.

Of course, I'm try to read the guy's mind....so best to ask him!
