Your brain didn't break. Your work situation did.

Everyone who finds ND Works has already tried harder, usually at more things than anyone else can see.

Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, self-identified, late-identified, or still figuring out what fits, people usually arrive here because something about work has stopped making sense.

Sometimes the problem is the job. Sometimes it's finding one. Sometimes it's getting started, keeping up, knowing what to do first, or doing very well while wondering how much longer you can keep doing it.

Most career advice assumes your brain works like the typical brain it was written for.

It assumes you can turn interest on and off, estimate time reasonably well, translate vague instructions into action, sell yourself comfortably, network on purpose, switch tasks when asked, and keep doing something because you know it matters even when it's boring or makes no sense.

Job searches, interviews and workplaces are full of those assumptions. If your brain works differently, the usual advice can be spectacularly unhelpful.

We start by figuring out what is actually happening.

What keeps repeating? Where is the effort going? What gets easier when the conditions change? What you are somehow expected to know without anybody ever saying it out loud?

Then we get to work.

Neurodivergent people don't need neurotypical career advice with a few accommodations added.

They need to know what works for their brain, in the actual world of work.
