>All meetings should start at a time ending in 5 on the minutes side. Eg. 10:35 is a valid start time. This is an excellent example of an ADHD accommodation that costs nothing to implement, and is absolutely welcomed by neurotypical people too. Same goes for having meeting-free days, and a culture that teaches people to be mindful of interruptions[1]. Unsurprisingly, it's something companies like Meta have (software engineering tends to attract ADHD folks because Hyperfocus[2] is a trait of something ironically called attention deficit, and coding marathons are a great example of that in action). Programmers talk about Flow all the time, but that's what Hyperfocus can easily mistaken for[3]. If you find it difficult to get started[4], but once you get going, you forget the world exists and find it difficult to switch out of whatever you're doing[5], and stopping feels painful.. yeah, that's hyperfocus. Which, along with being late all the time[6], is an ADHD trait. ADHD is surely the worst-named affliction.[7] Found out the hard way at the age of 34. Sharing my experience so that y'all don't have to keep on living your life on hard mode, and driving your Lamborghini brain on unplowed fields when it was built for a different purpose.
