Receiving an ADHD diagnosis in mid-career can feel like every strained review, missed deadline, and exhausting 'just try harder' finally makes sense. But a diagnosis is a beginning, not a verdict. This practical, affirming book helps you understand how your brain works at work — and which adjustments are genuinely worth asking for. From time-blur to distraction, task initiation to hyperfocus, and the grey territory before burnout, ADHD at Work walks through the adjustments that change the shape of a working day: environmental changes, communication agreements, meeting structures, workload design, and the difficult but vital conversation with a manager. You'll find concrete checklists, adaptable scripts, and a steady route through disclosure, negotiation, and self-advocacy. There is no 'overcoming' here — no fixing, no forcing yourself into a mould that was never built for you. Instead, a clear-eyed look at redesigning work so your strengths are visible and your struggles are supported. Written for the late-diagnosed, the newly diagnosed, and everyone still wondering if they belong here. Part of The Late Diagnosis Library.
