    I could use some assistance in obtaining statistical information regarding the following:

    *I would like stats on the percentage of women diagnosed with ADD, anxiety and/or mild depression that work outside of the home.
    *I would like stats on the percentage of women who work and have children under 18 in which the children have been diagnosed with ADHD and OCD (or either)
    *Also some information on how much time women/parents have to spend assisting children who have been diagnosed with ADHD and/or OCD

    I have researched some ADD sites and the BLS.  I have some other info, but not the specific info I am seeking.  Any ideas would be helpful.

    If you have not already done so, I might suggest a call to the Job Accommodation Network--they seem to keep a wealth of info at their fingertips and might save you some time......just saw this posting and suspect I am "too little too late" but decided to share my thoughts anyway...Pat
