Importance of Language in Discussing ADHD and Autism

This chapter focuses on the significance of language in conversations about ADHD and autism, advocating for the use of terms like ADHD instead of ADD and 'I am autistic' instead of 'I have autism' to empower individuals with neurodiverse identities. It also addresses the stigma faced by individuals with ADHD in the workplace, emphasizing the need for awareness, understanding, and necessary accommodations to support neurodivergent employees effectively.
