Work accommodations help ADHDers".

"Work accommodations help ADHDers".

(even if you get looks πŸ‘€)

Early in 2025 I started to accommodate myself more.

Can you guess what I was called out on with these:

🫣 "Ooh love your toys"
🫣 "Are you listening to music?"
🫣 "Must be nice to work in pajamas"
🫣 "I booked over your focus time slot"
🫣 "Take a break if you like, I've got a lot on"

The current reality is:
β†’ Traditional work structures feel like swimming upstream
β†’ We've been conditioned to hide what helps us
β†’ "Normal" became synonymous with "right"

I know you are reluctant to disclose your neurotype at work for fear of being labelled as difficult or incapable.

I hear this from late-identified ADHDers all the time.

And only 31% of us feel safe to do so (Augmentive, 2023).

But here's what I need you to know:

Everything shifts when you start supporting your brain.

Your productivity
Your creativity
Your esteem

Accommodations don't give advantages.

They remove barriers.

Barriers to your actual capacity.

You don't need permission to support your neurotype.
