Fitting in at work and surviving the corporate rat race is difficult on its own, but having a spectrum disorder such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can make it much harder. The trait is often stigmatized or underdiagnosed, and treatment is sometimes out of reach, but that doesn’t mean people with ADHD can’t thrive in their careers, as attorney Haley L. Moss knows firsthand.
In some respects, Moss is a real-life version of her hero Elle Woods, the glamorous fictional lawyer from the “Legally Blonde” movie series. For much of her professional life, Moss can be found in court or on the speaking circuit. Yet as the first openly autistic woman in Florida history to become a lawyer, she subsequently developed a substantial following as a neurodiversity influencer.Perhaps for this reason, Moss has a lot of empathy for neurodivergent people who struggle in the workplace because of ADHD.
