i’ve been posting video over in the WorkLife Bowl about the need for Neurological Safety™ and curious what my fellow ADHD friends think about the idea.

to feel neurologically safe, our spaces, cultures, and experiences must have all three of these ingredients

1. sensory supportive
2. cognitively kind
3. emotionally engaging

check out the videos for more details. i’d love to hear from you.

A lot of it comes down to the same things all employees want: fair pay, reasonable hours, respectful supervision, and meaningful work.

It’s just that the absence of any of those things hits us all the harder than our neurotypical peers.

agree. a lack of any of these can undermine us.

I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this?
