@catieosaurus: my number one thing is that no literally actually I cannot process very well before 10am, it's not that I'm lazy or want to come in late, it's that 95% of people with ADHD also have delayed sleep phase and it's really hard to do the whole 8am grind thing when my brain and body is on a 10am-1am schedule. #adhdjobs #womensleadership @The She Center
I wish they understood the phrase "I need a clearly defined role and expectations"

I wish that more people understood that they can't interrupt me constantly, or I'm never going to get anything done.

Provide timelines. Don’t give me a project that doesn’t have one, because it won’t get done if I don’t have a deadline

I work hella efficiently, so I have a LOT of down time and I wish we could have hybrid wfh options or be given a “these are some options of things you can do”

when I find a novel way to do something that works better for me, she just let's me do it whatever way is best for me as long as I'm achieving metrics. this is HUGE.

My boss's only criticism of me is that I don't always "look" busy or focused. I don't want to have to LOOK busy. if I'm doing my job, let me do my job and stop staring at me to see if I "look" like

I need you to be okay with variable productivity day by day. Look at the monthly trends instead and know that I’m doing my best.

I actually have a lot I think I can offer you! I’ve been taking tons of notes with this AI note taker. And recently, going back and rereading the transcripts - it’s mind blowing how behind work is

Overhead lighting are horrible. Open cubicles are horrible. I work from home now and will never go back to the office.

Presenteeism is a MASSIVE issue for everyone but is especially problematic for those of us with ADHD - we are having to “show up” and “appear to be productive” which STOPS us being actually productive

That me saying I need a work from home day is essential to my mental health. Working while bed rotting is so much mentally gentler and sometimes my brain just can’t handle ppl & stimulation.

When communicating with coworkers about work specific topics I'm not being mean, I'm staying focused. If I'm supposed to use specific "social niceties" so I don't come off "mean", I need instructions.

If I’m questioning something, it’s not bc I think I know better. I’m just trying to understand better or figure out if it’s important that we do the thing that way or if we can find a different way.

What RSD is. How to request a meeting "you're not in trouble" would be great. How to answer clarifying questions, usually with clarification...who to send questions to - if I send to my supervisor 1

You’re probably not going to be able to tell… because I’ve been masking for almost 30 years. When I told my boss I was being tested for ADHD, he was shocked… spoiler alert, I’ve got it.

Our communication style is different. We need more communication, often in multiple modalities (show, email, and tell). Be clear and forward, but kind. Also, kind /= nice.

Excessive meetings aren’t helpful and make it really hard to focus or pay attention. Evaluate if this meeting is really necessary for everyone or specifically my participation. If I must be there then

to check in and either keep track of the individual's task load, or encourage the individual to track it & provide that data. Often I have taken on far more than one person should but no one realized
