ADHD Stories

Frequently Asked Questions: ADHD in the Workplace

A suitable working environment can make a huge difference for someone with ADHD. When a person with ADHD leaves a job, they often mention a lack of support from their employer as the main reason why they decide to move on. Managing an employee with ADHD can be very rewarding, provided that time and effort is taken to understand how the disorder impacts the employee and their responsibilities at work.

Here are some of the most common FAQs about ADHD and the workplace.
