At least for me, when I’m talking about this, it’s more to do with how I deal with my ADHD rather than other people or their perceptions.
So some of my mechanisms that I’ve talked about in a few other threads include things like planning out my week to segregate my work and make it easier for me to get through… Read more

It’s a good question, Yvonne. My experience has always been that people are quite receptive to being told about my neurodivergence. But it often leads to a lot of questions, which are coming from a good place. My personal recommendation would be to be open about not being NT because the career coach is likely going to be able to tailor…

    Welcome David!

    If you don’t mind me asking, I am curious as to why your previous mechanisms weren’t working for you any more.

    Did something specific change (ie. a promotion)? Or another reason?

    My reason for asking is that I am starting to move up in my industry (law) but some of the parts of me that have helped me get to this point are…

      Noise is the biggest one for me.

      I do not understand how anyone can function effectively or be themselves in an open plan environment. I’m one of the lucky ones who has an office door I can shut and block out all of the noise. But I think I would have to work from home permanently if we shifted to open plan.

      Hi Misty

      Welcome to NDN!

      Sorry to hear you are having some struggles.

      Is it possible to elaborate on what you mean?

      For example, what accommodations do you think would assist you? Why are those accommodations not available to you now?

      Hi Eliza

      First of all, can I say well done. It takes a lot of courage to recognise and accept where things are at and even more to be prepared to do something about it. It’s scary stepping away from things and having the uncertainty of what impact that will have. But from experience you haven’t got to this point lightly, so well done on taking…

      I went through exactly what you’re talking about just this week.

      I am guilty of turning off my camera, standing up and moving my body, usually by doing some big stretches.

      Staying alert in meetings that I’m not an active participant in is a real struggle for me. I have been known to fall asleep if I get too bored. So I figure it’s better if people wonder what I’m up to, rather than realise that I’m…

      Hi all.

      Been here a fair while now without ever introducing myself.

      My name is Tim. 36, lawyer, husband and father. Not officially diagnosed but pretty clear signs of ADHD with a very non-neuronormative family around me.

      Enjoy hearing about everyone’s experiences. It’s truly astonishing to me how many people are coming to these diagnoses…

I know that she has already presented previously, including to AirServices Australia and Australia National University. I’m sure she’d be able to tailor something specific.

            It’s so tough, isn’t it.

            I have a workplace with a bit of a “if it doesn’t impact your work then we don’t care” type of attitude and even then I feel like they actually probably would 😅

            But I’ve found the same too in terms of the work from home shift making it all just a little bit easier to hide. COVID was good for one thing!

            Hi Marie

            This is a really interesting one for me. In just about all professional capacities no-one would realise that I have ADHD. There would be signs – like an ability to make stupid mistakes when I’m doing less interesting work – but people don’t necessarily associate that with ADHD. They just tend to think I was a bit careless.
