I’m condemned to a week-long meeting soon, and it makes me want to put a shotgun in my mouth to even think about it. What can I do to make it more bearable?

    You’re not the only person who has discussed fidget peripherals in meetings. Is ADHD awareness at this level in some areas? In what country do you live.

      This was in the US, west coast, about 7 years ago.

      I’m not entirely sure the company did it purely for ADHD, I think possibly because they knew 8hr meetings 5 days a week were a boring, slog for anyone and they at least acknowledged that one could fidget and still pay attention.

      edit: Sadly as with most things in the US, they got acquired by some megacorp and went to crap. Bunch of people I knew laid off. I don’t even think the office exists anymore.
