Neurodivergent Career Counseling in Georgia

Work is one of the environments where neurodivergent masking tends to be most demanding and most costly. Fluorescent lighting, open floor plans, constant meetings, unclear expectations, and the pressure to appear effortlessly organized can turn an otherwise capable career into a source of chronic burnout for ADHD and Autistic adults. At Radiant Recovery & Counseling in Georgia, we offer neurodivergent career counseling that addresses both the psychological toll of workplace masking and the practical decisions around accommodations, career fit, and sustainable work.

How Career Struggles Show Up Differently for Neurodivergent Adults

A pattern of starting jobs strong and then burning out within months, regardless of how capable or interested you were initially

Chronic exhaustion from masking neurodivergent traits in professional settings, well beyond ordinary work fatigue

Difficulty navigating unwritten social rules at work, from small talk to office politics, that seem effortless for colleagues

Sensory overload in open offices, from lighting to noise to constant interruption, that isn't taken seriously as a real barrier

Uncertainty about whether or how to disclose a diagnosis or request accommodations, and fear of professional consequences if you do

A career history that looks scattered on paper but reflects a genuine, exhausting search for a role that actually fits how you function
