Yes, very often. Burnout in ADHD frequently comes from sustained over effort, masking, and compensating without enough support. Accommodations that reduce cognitive load, clarify expectations, and allow flexibility can significantly lower exhaustion. Clinicians see that when people are allowed to work with their brain instead of against it, energy improves and burnout risk drops. Accommodations aren’t about doing less. They’re about making effort sustainable over time.
