Untangling ADHD at work

Some of your best people have ADHD. Some know it. Some are still finding out. Most have spent years working twice as hard to look like everyone else. We're ADHD Untangled. We bring coaching & trainings into workplaces so tangled brains can stop surviving the week and start doing the work they were made for.

Don't just take our word for it. The new research is in.

In 2026 Birkbeck University and Neurodiversity in Business surveyed over 600 people: neurodivergent employees, entrepreneurs and employers. What they found:

76% of ND employees name hyperfocus as a strength. 74% pattern recognition. 66% creativity.

64% of employers say their biggest barrier is that their own managers don't understand neurodiversity. Cost came third.

85% saw demand for neurodiversity support jump in the last 18 months. Only half can meet it.

And of the ND people who left to work for themselves? 61% would never come back.

The talent is there. The understanding isn't. That's where we come in.

in practice

ADHD isn't an excuse. It's an explaInation

Let's clear something up: this isn't about just supporting your employees with ADHD.

When you design for accessibility, everyone wins. Text messaging was designed for people who couldn't hear. Now it's the most used feature on your phone. The curb cut was made for wheelchair access. Now it helps parents with prams, and cyclists.

Support the ADHD brains on your team and you don't just help them. You create a trusted, psychologically safe environment where everyone thinks more clearly, performs better, and actually enjoys being there.

And the bigger truth? The world is going beige. Same tools, same templates, AI smoothing out every edge. Divergent thinking is the one thing that can't be automated, and the people in your company who have it are your biggest asset. The different viewpoint isn't a nice-to-have; it’s what turns companies from good to great.

Understanding is trainable. 64% of employers say the barrier is understanding. The fix? Better coaches and better training. Not to fix your people. To fix how your managers and leaders understand them. No policy document does that.

Coaching works and almost nobody gets it. Only 32% of ND employees have access to real support like coaching. Giving your people that access is the cheapest retention lever you have.

Psychological safety is measurable. It's the strongest driver of ND wellbeing and retention, which means you can audit it, build it, and watch the quiet exits stop.
