• ADHD is not a disorder to fix but a different way of processing that offers unique strengths
• Traditional workplace systems often fail neurodivergent individuals by forcing conformity rather than accommodating different thinking styles
• Masking ADHD symptoms requires double the energy, leading to burnout and mental health challenges
• Mindfulness-based strength practice helps identify and leverage your natural character strengths
• The connection between ADHD, depression and addiction stems from impulsivity and emotional dysregulation
• Movement breaks, journaling, grounding techniques and visual goal-setting provide practical ADHD management strategies
• Workplace accommodations like headphones and additional breaks are reasonable requests protected by law
• Self-acceptance and understanding the root causes of behaviors reduces shame and builds confidence
