LATE DIAGNOSIS SERIES: ADHD/Autism Accommodations: What You Deserve and How to Ask
Wed Feb 04 2026
This episode explains why accommodations are equity, not favors, and I offer scripts for you to use to ask for what you need at work, at home, and in your social life. We will unpack internalized ableism, set boundaries with compassion, and share practical tools to ask for accommodations and to prevent burnout and protect your energy.
• late diagnosis and why asking stalls
• accommodations as equity and burnout prevention
• ADA rights and reasonable workplace changes
• clear scripts for managers, partners, and roommates
• sensory-friendly environments and simplified systems
• boundaries, pushback, and following through
• self-accommodation and permission statements
• shifting from perfectionism to sustainable routines
