ADHD can create all kinds of challenges in the workplace. Seemingly infinite things to do and to remember. A busy, ever-changing schedule. Co-workers who don’t always know what’s going on in your mind. • There’s a lot to figure out. But recently, Rae Jacobson found herself wondering, What’s it like on the other side — to manage someone who’s neurodivergent and still figuring it out? • So, Rae called her former boss, Caroline Miller, the editorial director of the Child Mind Institute. • On this episode of Hyperfocus, Rae puts this question to Caroline and gets some advice on ADHD at work — for employees and managers alike. • To get a transcript of this show and check out more episodes, visit the Hyperfocus podcast page at Understood.org • We love hearing from our listeners.
