New research reveals 40% of Australian workers with ADHD haven't told their boss. But it also shows that workplaces are trying to do better.

Of that, $12.8 billion is reported to be financial costs, with a further $7.6 billion in wellbeing costs. In today’s competitive talent market, the opportunity for employers that can unlock the potential of divergent thinking is vast.” “Historically, ADHD has been misconceived as bad behaviour or seen as something that limits what a person can and can’t do. The research also found that 88% of employers say that they would accomodate staff. It’s a staggering number, and perhaps indicative of why workplaces have needed to change to However, only 62% already had policies in place to support them.

ADHD Diagnosis, Treatment, and Care Clinical Practice Guideline (Mirage News)

The National Health and Medical Research Council have approved the Australian ADHD Professionals Association's Evidence-Based Clinical Practice.

Until now, GPs haven’t been allowed to formally diagnose ADHD, which has made it more difficult and time-consuming for Australians to get a diagnosis in the first place. The Guidelines contain 111 clinical recommendations addressing the ADHD journey across a person’s lifespan, from identification and diagnosis to an evolving support plan and information for family, friends, employers, and others in their life.

Genes Behind Increased Chance of Autism, ADHD (or Both) Identified (Technology Networks)

There is a large degree of overlap between the genetic causes of autism and ADHD. Now, researchers from Aarhus University have found gene variants, ...

"But if we have a genetic study of a person with an autism diagnosis, and we see a major genetic load of ADHD genetics, then it may be that we should monitor that person a bit more closely. In this way, we can in the future become quicker to spot the development and give the family good tools to handle this diagnosis, too. It is also remarkable that some of the genetic variants identified also have an impact on people’s cognitive functions in general in the population. The researchers analyse large datasets of genetic profiles in order to learn more about diseases and developmental disorders. “The autism diagnosis is typically made before an ADHD diagnosis. There is a large degree of overlap between the genetic causes of autism and ADHD.
