AD: The hard truth about asking for accommodations if you’re neurodivergent (and how to fix it) 👇 (save this if you need it) It’s that we genuinely can’t imagine things being different. 🫠 When you’ve survived your entire life doing things the hard way, asking for a simple adjustment feels impossible. Here’s the pattern I see: Someone DMs me: “I’m struggling at work because…” They name the problem. But they stop there. Sometimes, we’re so used to it feeling hard, we forget to problem-solve to make it easier. Here’s what changed everything for two of my followers: Follower 1 (dyslexic): “I struggle with getting a lot of information at once. I’m falling behind.” What I told them to ask for: “Can we add a table of contents with section links to documents going forward? I process information better when I can navigate to specific sections.” Result: Accommodation approved immediately. Follower 2 (ADHD): “I lose track of verbal instructions given in meetings.” What I told them to ask for: “Can you send a quick follow-up message after our meetings with the key action items? It helps me retain what was discussed.” Result: Accommodation approved immediately. Notice a pattern? The accommodation you need probably isn’t complicated, expensive, or difficult. It’s specific. It’s actionable. And it solves a real problem. Teams usually want to help. But they’re not experts in your disability. You are! Purple Space made the building inner confidence learning course for exactly this: how disabled talent and employers can have better conversations about accommodations for all minds to thrive.

#Ad - Confidence at work looks different for everyone 💜 When I started my new role at a disability tech company, I joined a brilliant mix of disabled and non-disabled colleagues, all working together to make the world more accessible. During our first team weekend away, I had to explain a few of my access needs to a colleague, and they immediately stepped in to help without hesitation. That small moment really stuck with me. It showed how much understanding can grow when we give people the chance to learn, and when we approach those conversations with confidence instead of hesitation. It instantly made me feel more comfortable and confident around my new colleagues! 🥰 PurpleSpace’s building inner confidence learning course captures this perfectly. It focuses on how not all colleagues may understand the impact of a disability or health condition, and how confidence often means knowing when to educate, when to set boundaries, and when to let go of other people’s assumptions. Workplaces are made stronger when we build that understanding together, and resources like this help make those moments easier for disabled professionals to navigate in 2026. 👉 Explore the Building Inner Confidence learning course here: https://lnkd.in/e4syQBAR #PositivelyPurple #InnerConfidence #Fundamentals #DisabledVoices #DisabilityInclusion #AccessibilityMatters

You need to know about this missing piece of careers. It's not just hard work, it's your network. As someone with ADHD and Autism, I've been told my whole life that the answer was to "work harder", "self-advocate more", "fix my mindset". But the PurpleSpace 'Building Inner Confidence' course hits on what was actually missing most in my career: 🔹 A disability network 🔹 Real allyship 🔹 Mentors who had walked this path before me What I love about this story is that it goes beyond performative "inclusion". It shows how disabled networks change the lived experience of work. The phenomenology of it: 🎯 Listening groups with no judgement 🎯 Disability ERGs where you can speak honestly about barriers 🎯 External wisdom that helps you reframe what's possible. I keep thinking about all the roles I might have stayed in (or grown into) if I'd had that kind of guidance network earlier. If you're living with a disability: 👉 Seek out others who share your lived experience. You don't have to DIY confidence in a vacuum. If you're a leader: 👉 Don't just "include" differences. Fund, protect and listen to your disability networks. That's where confidence, progression, and retention are quietly being built.
