How to communicate better at work: ADHD and Autism Edition

How to Balance Context and Conciseness at Work: Tips for Autistic and ADHD Professionals

As neurodivergent professionals—whether autistic, ADHD, or both—we often love diving deep into problems, unraveling their complexities, and solving puzzles at work. But what happens when our need for context clashes with a workplace culture that values conciseness?

Too often, the details we share can come across to managers or neurotypical coworkers as excuses or complaints instead of what they really are: a well-thought-out analysis. This can create misunderstandings and frustrations, especially when communicating with senior leaders or “holistic” thinkers who focus on big-picture solutions.

So, how do you balance your need for detail with the workplace's demand for clear and concise communication? I’m Brett, the AuDHD Boss, and in this post, I’ll share practical, strengths-based strategies to help you communicate effectively in professional settings.
