In an evening session of Psychological Matters on Radio 702, Debbie Goodman spoke with Aubrey Masango about ADHD in the workplace: from stigma to strength.

There is therefore a need for greater awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity in the workplace, as well as support for the positive potential contribution of individuals with ADHD.
