Because I have headphones on all day, I don’t get an opportunity to join in in any spontaneous chats.When it comes to work, age isn’t just a numberI’m thinking about explaining to my colleagues that I have ADHD, and that the reason I’m at home most of the time is because I have trouble concentrating in the office.

“There is that little bit of a chicken and an egg scenario there at the moment,” says Kilbride, who adds that, as it is a “reasonably new phenomenon,” employers, nor indeed employees often know what type of support they require. However, employees often do not disclose their ADHD to employers or their colleagues for fear of missing out on career progression or being discriminated against.
