ADHD OASIS October Meetup: ADHD in the Workplace; Disclose or Stay in the Closet? [Virtual]
Join us to explore when and how to disclose your neurodivergence at work. We all understand how unsafe it can be to share that you have ADHD with your coworkers and bosses. Share your experiences and learn from your fellow professionals with ADHD.
Come learn how to decrease your neurodiverse challenges while building relationships with fellow ADHDers and neurodiverse peers who are on similar journeys.
You can attend these virtual Meetups on the third Thursday of every month.
Our monthly virtual meetups are designed to foster collaboration and support within our ADHD tech community, but you're also welcome if you work in other industries.
To ensure a focused environment, we kindly ask ADHD coaches not to join these events. ADHD Oasis meetups are not a place to coach group members or to actively seek clients. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of being lonely in your experience, come laugh, learn, and connect with your community.

You are welcome to show up late or leave early to suit your schedule. We understand that this is a workday event and unexpected priorities arise. We're neurodiverse and understand these realities. :)
