Yes. You need to research and learn your rights under the ADA. Use ChatGPT to eliminate hours of research. Ultimately, you need to become your biggest advocate (because no one else will do this for you). Hyperfocus on learning while being self aware enough to know what will work specifically for you. Also, as a neurodiverse person, if you happen to have comorbidities or other chronic conditions, those could also present possible accommodations you can ask for. If you dedicate yourself to become educated enough to navigate this in life, you have the opportunity to gift this same advice to those who are in your current position. Pass it on. Always pass the enablement on. It can change someone’s life, mental health, and their ultimate success in this crap neurotypical world.

My partner did but that was because he had been sent to occupational health not long into his employment and discussed his reasonable adjustments with them...who assessed him vs his needs/adjustments and created a report.

But I guess it also depends where you are as to disability/employment laws and what not. I know from past experiences in the UK it can be down to employer discression

I haven’t, but would be very interested to hear what happened from someone who did!

I have a workplace accommodation to be remote (technically it's half a day twice a month) but my boss is out of state and the contract I'm on can't follow my in office requirements so I can be fully remote.
Though I would take an interview office job if it paid hella good and met my needs. I hate where I work but it pays better than anything else in my area.

Yes, I have that. It was quite the struggle to get it approved (hybrid workplace), and I think it was approved because my office doesn't have enough desks.

Do you think this has hurt your perception at work? I understand you’re legally protected but do you think managers view you more negatively compared to your peers who are my compliant with the company’s policy

This is my biggest fear…

Hey so like - newfound reason for my procrastination since I got on Ritalin - a tendency towards "putting things off so I can enjoy the hyperfocus later". When I just started taking the meds I was super effective for a few weeks but now my brain seems to be figuring out ways around the drugs 🤦🏻‍♀️ any ideas on how to not fall back into procrastination behaviours?

Has anyone else tried Strattera, had success, and a few months later felt like work was a struggle again? Am I imagining it?

My boss assigns projects with unclear expectations and provides no guidance on how to achieve them.

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".

How do you approach projects when your boss plays the "guess what's in my head" game?

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess.

But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.
