Thanks, AlaskaAngel. I thought this was information that a lot of people didn't know. And sometimes all it takes is asking for reasonable accommodations at work, such as more time to complete a project or asking that any verbal instructions be followed up with an email, or having access to a personal digital assistant like a smart phone where you can keep your calendar and other data, or if you drive as part of your job, asking for a GPS in your car.
