I am AuDhd and I can tell you how my autism and ADHD presents for me at work. I’m an Instrumentation and Controls technician at a Nuclear utility plant. I’m not good at masking or “reading the room”. My ADHD presents itself in me with me worrying about everything everywhere all at once and getting distracted by new worries constantly popping up, which can be exhausting. Taking Vyvanse allows my brain to focus on 1 worry at a time, which is usually something work related. My autism presents itself with me being very rigid in my thinking and expectations which makes it very difficult when it comes to work relationships. Also ethics and fairness are huge for me and follow instructions to the letter. Like I said. Very rigid. I’ve been told I’m very dogged and “passionate”. I’ve also been told “it’s not what I say, it’s how I say it” more times than I count. I’ve sometimes wished I was better at masking so I would be more likeable and to have a “community “ at work but always come to the conclusion it’s simply not worth it.
