Your "we need to talk" story strongly parallels what happened to my eldest son at a supported job he had.
Everything he was told was that he was doing great, progressing well etc. Then a new manager took over and he got the "we need to talk" request.
New manager listed many, many things my son had never been taught or asked to do, and new manager said he was only doing ~10% of the full role. New manager then terminated his employment.
This article provides invaluable insights into fostering ADHD-friendly workplaces. The suggestions around making environments more inclusive, from clear communication to structured routines, are practical and thoughtful. By emphasizing flexibility and understanding, you're contributing to a culture that can benefit not only individuals with ADHD but everyone. Great work in championing these essential changes!
Great tips, Jesse! The emphasis on frequent feedback and clear priorities really resonates—both have been absolute game-changers for me. And you're so right about body doubling—it’s amazing how much easier tasks feel with a bit of accountability and companionship. Congrats on the SXSW panel; love seeing ADHD-specific conversations gain momentum on big stages!
