Like any law firm is not for folks like us. We have to stay low until we become partners. Has anyone been hired after disclosing they have ADHD?

I got distracted. What was the question?

Someone in my office figured out how to hang curtains with tension rods. He even had the good graces to pick unpatterned curtains that more or less match the adjacent wall color, too. Just a thought...

By default it’s going to be 0, because things are designed for neurotypical people.

YOU make it “ADHD-friendly” by leveraging your unique skills to develop incredible results others couldn’t even think up.
