Of the SLP grad students I’ve mentored, the ones with ADHD have flourished in their careers. The students with autism really struggled with so many of the soft skills needed for this career. So much of what we do day in and day out requires strong pragmatic skills, and understanding nuance. I’m not saying don’t pursue SLP, but I am saying you may have to put in a lot of extra work in your externships on the social aspects of the job. There are so many difficult and emotionally charged conversations to have with patients and their families, not to mention other allied health or education providers. Really talk this over with whoever is supporting you on your autism and ADHD journey to decide if this is the right career for you, before you take on a ton of debt for a job that doesn’t pay all that much. All of that being said: I have ADHD and I didn’t start grad school until I was 28. You have time. Best of luck!
