QUESTION:

Happy Saturday! This bowl (and myself!) are both super new to Fishbowl App. So thank you to those that have joined!

I’m currently helping to educate workplaces on supporting NeuroDivergent staff + how to help us thrive.

What’s one thing that really helps you feel supported at work?

I was open and honest with my manager about my recent diagnosis, and told him I was still trying to figure out new routines, medications, etc.

He was so supportive and shared that he also has ADHD!! He started giving me extra space/time for appointments, etc. and told me to take PTO as needed to adjust and figure things out. He also reminded me I had a budget for remote work supplies if I wanted to get new calendars, notebooks, apps, etc. So grateful to have a very supportive manager!

One thing that my coworker (who acts as my mentor) does is sometimes she writes lists of things I need to do and tries to be as specific as possible. One time I made a mistake and she realized it was because her instructions were a bit vague and apologized to me as opposed to reprimanding me.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

Afternoon. Thinking about telling my employers about my ADHD, but I’m not sure how they’ll react. Any advice from people who have told their places of work?

Welcome to anyone who comes across this post. I have been on this app for around a week and I am yet to find any other NeuroDivergent groups/bowls for people in sales. I’ve created this bowl in the hope that we can find each other if we’re here! All people welcome, formal diagnosis or not and also for those who suspect themselves to be ND. If this remains quiet for a few weeks I’ll make it less generic and step away from sales.
