Adults with ADHD experience financial hurdles that have an impact on their lives at work, school, and home. Adults diagnosed with ADHD have:

  • earned 30% less later on in life due to poor work performance.
  • 10-14% higher chance of unemployment because individuals have trouble keeping and finding jobs.
  • earned $10,532 – $12,189 less as compared to those without ADHD due to low productivity at work.
  • higher medical costs (2x) due to increased medications and physician visits.
