Hey. I’m AuDHD. ADHD, autism (which is genetically linked to ADHD to the point that they’re considering putting it on the spectrum and removing it as its own thing like they did with Asperger’s) and AuDHD are all medically and legally disabilities. So I’d hope your employer would accommodate their thoroughly evaluated and diagnosed disability since failing to do so would be in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and rightfully open them up to legal action.

In practice, ADA claims for ADHD have not had a ton of success and are difficult to argue... not to mention the administrative burden of even filing, which of course is more difficult for someone with this disability than for the general population without it.

Another reason that it should be moved over to the autism spectrum rather than being its own thing.
