Anyone with an Accounting degree or accounting-related job that has ASD/ADHD?
Whether you just relate or have a formal diagnosis, either or both (impossible as an adult in my area unless severe/obvious!), do you prefer WFH/Remote?
Dumb question lol, but I’m struggling to secure remote and deciding whether to get Quickbooks cert. or do online MBA course to increase chances. Too much anxiety to ever get CPA + need max 40 hr/wk & thriving WLB.
Thanks for any helpful thoughts!

I have all 3. I currently have disability accommodations for remote work. I can't work in the office productively. Not a dumb question. The Ask JAN website helped me understand how accommodations can help for my specific diagnoses.

I was hired without it then asked for the accommodations down the line. I also wanted to add to the OP that i have my CPA. I had to figure out what worked for me in terms of studying.

I was recently told by my doctor that I seem to exhibit ADHD characteristics. I always thought I was just quirky. My kids have been formally diagnosed, and my spouse said she wasn't surprised when the doctor said he believed I likely was as well. That being said, I am a B4 partner, and was able to use my hyperfocus to get really deep into technical areas. When I was younger, I kept myself focused through copious amounts of caffeine. Please don't sell yourself short. Are you appropriately medicated? My youngest, who was a pretty poor student, had now become a mostly A student, once we got her medicine properly dosed. It took a few years, but we now have the right dosage and she is excelling. If you want the CPA, you can do it. Believe in yourself. I found that I am much better in a group setting, as I can drown out the audit room noise. My daughter is the same - she needs stuff going on and, as long as she is medicated (Vyvance), she does well. She had a harder time at home. Good luck!
