The ADHD adult will talk out of turn, have difficulty following through with instructions, show lack of focus, have difficulty finishing projects and complain of being disorganized.
Symptoms like these make it very hard for an adult with ADHD to maintain a successful work environment. More often than not, these are employees that get passed up for a promotion or are under-employed according to their abilities.
