Скачать или смотреть Why Autistic & ADHD Adults Feel Drained at Work

As an engineer, I thought the exhaustion I felt every night was just the price of having a “good job.” But the truth is, it wasn’t only the work that drained me, it was the constant masking, the rigid systems, and the unspoken rules that never made sense.

If you’re autistic or ADHD, you might know this cycle too well:
📌 Pretending to be “normal” all day just to survive the office.
🚪 Walking out at 5 p.m. completely drained.
🧠 Hyperfocusing when it matters, only to be called inconsistent.
📊 Caring about results while everyone else cares about appearances.
📎 Following the rules and still getting penalized.

That disconnect isn’t a personal failure but a sign that the environment doesn’t fit your brain.

I share this because I know what it’s like to feel alone in that struggle. But you’re not. There’s an entire community of us learning to stop forcing ourselves into systems that were never designed for us and start looking for work that actually aligns with how we’re wired.
