For many of us who are autistic or have ADHD, the holiday work party can feel like walking into uncharted territory. With unspoken rules, social expectations, and the added sensory overload, these events can become a source of anxiety rather than joy. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With the right strategies, you can navigate holiday work functions while prioritizing your comfort and authenticity.

Holiday work parties blur the line between personal and professional. While they’re often framed as fun social gatherings, they are still work events—complete with implicit codes of conduct. For neurodivergent professionals, this duality can make navigating them particularly tricky.

Hi, I’m Brett, the AuDHD Boss, an autistic leader with ADHD and over a decade of leadership experience. I understand how challenging these events can be, which is why I’ve compiled my best tips to help you not just survive but thrive at your next holiday work party.
