ADHD has been getting a lot of buzz lately from all sorts of places, and it feels like the spotlight on it has grown tremendously. This can be a positive shift, shedding light on a real issue, but it also opens the door for shady folks looking to cash in on people’s struggles. When it comes to handling ADHD, having solid, trustworthy info is key. One area that’s still flying under the radar is how ADHD plays out in the workplace. Sure, there are some studies, but they rarely dig into the nitty-gritty of securing accommodation at work. My doctoral dissertation tackled this head-on, surveying HR managers and staff about what it takes to get those accommodations. As an ADHD coach, I’ve also picked up plenty of real-world insights worth sharing. The big takeaway? Self-advocacy. Just like finding treatment can be a battle, convincing companies to step up is tough. Knowledge is the game-changer for making accommodations work.
