I wish for better ADHD support at work.

(it won't mean lowering performance standards)

As a late-identified ADHDer, I pushed through work.

Unaccommodated.

Then burnout forced me to stop.

So I am sharing what helps ADHDers at work:

➡️Clear priorities
➡️Comprehensive deadlines
➡️Written agendas before meetings

Because ever stared at 6 urgent requests in panic?

➡️Quiet work zones
➡️Meeting recaps sent in writing
➡️Permission to say "I need time to think"

Because who else feels the office is a sensory nightmare?

➡️Check-ins that aren't performance reviews
➡️Help prioritising when everything feels urgent
➡️Reminders that you're doing a great job

Because how often do you leave a 1:1 wondering if you are doing well?

Small shifts like these help us use our strengths.

ADHDers don't ask for help.

We overcompensate until we can't.

P.S. I can't be convinced these won't help everyone 🤔
