Title: How has this disorder affected their career

Are they able to function well in their career?

Have they had problems with coworkers?

Have they changed careers many times?

The amazing thing about my daughter is that for quite a while she worked in customer service telephone positions, where she would regularly receive people's wrath. She adopted a professional persona, and was amazing at dealing with this stuff. So ironic.

She did lose one good position because they wanted her to come in every day 15 minutes early unpaid, and she wouldn't tolerate that. But for the most part she has had jobs where she is seen as extremely competent, and hasn't changed too often.It has been very surprising to me.

SD work habits are similar to her romantic relationships they are great in the beginning and start to deteriorate.

When she is working and has a schedule her personal life drama slows down, less time for it, currently she has been unemployed for a year so personal drama has been off the charts.
