Self-Advocacy After Diagnosis: Accommodations and Disclosure

Diagnosis is the beginning, not the end. The Job Accommodation Network provides practical, evidence-based guidance on workplace accommodations for ADHD (with many applicable to AuDHD).

Topics covered: what accommodations are available (flexible scheduling, sensory-friendly workspaces, written instructions, noise-canceling headphones), how to request them, your legal rights, and the disclosure decision — who to tell, when, and how much.

For AuDHD individuals, the accommodation needs often span both conditions: you might need routine and predictability (autism) alongside flexibility and movement breaks (ADHD). JAN's resources help navigate this complexity.
