ADH(R)D: Where the Spicy Lives

Diagnosed? Undiagnosed? Just a sneaky feeling...?

I formed this community when I got my (very late) ADHD diagnosis at the age of 50.

Having spent almost three decades masking at work in senior HR roles, it was a relief to know that there wasn't anything 'wrong' with me, but there had always been a reason I did things the way I did.

But I did also feel a little sad for not knowing about this sooner and my diagnosis was actually the starting point in my journey to better understand ADHD and how it shows up and affects my life both at work and outside of work.

I'd never heard of things like hyperfocus, RSD or time blindness and the more I learned, the more I understood myself.

It can felt very lonely in an HR role as an ADHDer, especially because HR are so often held to a higher standard than others.

I thought it would be lovely if there was a group of us in the same boat who could learn from and support each other, so that's how this started.

We've managed to meet up in person in small groups over the past year. Sometimes having this community simply means you don't have to rock up to an HR event on your own and that has been a godsend for many of us as well.

Most importantly though, there's no obligation to engage in any particular way, no need to hide anything or pretend to be someone you're not. We're proud to have created a really safe space where people feel understood and like they can actually be themselves.
