Where do you live? There's a lot of "digital agency" type work that is good for someone with ADHD. But it's all in LA or NYC.

edit: also there's always QA

I live near Chicago so maybe there is something local but I like your idea, it seems flexible and stimulating enough that I can focus on it.

By digital agency, do you mean web dev shops?

Places like r/ga, instrument, canvas, huge, etc.

Usually marketing/advertising oriented. Make promo sites, web games, iOS apps, facebook campaigns, etc.

oh okay, thanks. how would you advice him to approach such companies, as he probably doesn't have a portfolio yet, plus he is new to web dev?

I guess just try applying for an entry level job. Many of those places are desperate and will hire anyone.

Thanks, this sounds interesting. At least, the work in these shops might be a bit more interesting than pure corporate places. Worth giving it a shot.
