The authors discuss the legal rights of an individual with AD/HD in the workplace. They also look at the issue of matching oneself to the right job.

This is not a "let's sue them right away" type book. They prefer to find ways to work things out in less confrontational ways. However if all else fails, they explain how to proceed in the legal arena.

The book discusses when to disclose an AD/HD-related disability and when it might be prudent to be silent. It makes suggestions about simple accomadations that might make work easier for both employee and employer.

There may have been some changes in the law since this book first came out, but most of the general principals are the same.

Stories about people with learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder that illustrate good and not-so-good strategies for handling the many problems in the workplace, finding the right job, whether or not to tell people about your disability, handling trouble wisely, and being fired. The format of the "tales" makes easy reading.
