I just think it would be helpful if ADHD were more widely recognised as a disability because, for a lot of people, it is. There are some areas where I really struggle.
I’m fortunate that my superior at work is fantastic, so when I told him about it he was very understanding and said “Look, some days you won’t be able to come in and some days you’ll have to leave early if it all gets too much – that’s fine. If it happens in class, just let me know and I’ll look after your group while you settle.”
It’d be nice if more employers were like that but, given that they’re not (I’d have to have some of the other senior staff here as my superiors), it’d be good to have actual regulations regarding acceptable provisions for people with ADHD.
