What things do you do to hide your ADHD at work?
If in an office doing boring work for breaks - Make tea more often while working (just get up put kettle on then go back to desk), toilet every 1/2 hr, Find quicker ways to do things freeing up time ie a lot of people in similar jobs like to span out what they are doing or make things more complicated and are lazy so they can go home on time (i hate this surprisingly these idiots get kept on in companies and promoted), Jump and help people with other tasks so do not get bored when I have freed up time, go extra mile for customers, when i get absorbed miss breaks for special projects arrive & early leave late to get jobs that require this done, I turn phone off, often go home an think about process to make things quicker.

I'm not sure I hide my ADHD I just don't tell anyone I have it.
I just use coping strategies so I can do the job as good as or better than my counterparts
I think I work harder than everyone else I always go the extra mile
Maybe I feel I've got a point 2 prove?
I have 2 write alot of things down coz otherwise I 4get
I get a bit of grief about how bad my memory is. It's turned into a bit of a standing joke
I think sometimes (probably the vast majority of the time) I walk around with a lost look on my face
That gets commented on alot I just make a joke outta it
I get the "don't think she's awake yet" I just say no obviously not coz I'm living the dream (usually after I've been landed with the shitest route in the office)
I'm not good at everything but my enthusiasm makes up 4 it
Probably my biggest coping strategy is that I smile all the time
U'd be amazed at what u can get away with if u smile
Also how people approach u more readily and offer u help
It helps that I really love my job
