I work in the administration of a U.S. company, and I have never had anyone come to me asking for any accomodation for ADHD. I am afraid to disclose my own disabilities (I have more than one), because I hold a job position of high trust and confidentiality.
There are accomodations that would help a lot… When I was hired, I negotiated for the privilege of being able to work from home occasionally. This was recently taken away due to my absenteeism. I’m pretty frustrated and thinking about working elsewhere.
Knowing from the inside how companies react to requests for accomodation, I would not ask unless I was confident I had other job opportunities lined up…
