Drains & Sparks: An AuDHD Workplace Workbook + Companion Video
Drains & Sparks is a printable self-reflection workbook for AuDHD, autistic, and ADHD professionals who are trying to figure out what they actually need at work — and how to ask for it.
****This version includes the full companion video**** — a complete walkthrough of every section of the workbook with Brett Whitmarsh, the AuDHD professional and former corporate leader who built these tools. Brett works through the workbook himself, live, at his own career inflection point. Every section. Real answers.
If blank pages tend to stay blank, watching someone work through it alongside you changes that.
These tools were developed and refined over 12 years of leading neurodivergent teams inside corporate environments, used in real one-on-ones, shared with other managers, and available publicly for the first time.
Who this is for
Neurodivergent professionals — autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD — who are struggling to name what they need at work. People preparing for a performance review or manager check-in. Late-diagnosed adults figuring out what accommodations might help them. High-masking professionals who have never had words for what costs them so much energy at work. Anyone who does better seeing something modeled than working through it alone.

What’s inside the workbook
- Your Role — what your job says versus what you actually spend your time doing, and where the gaps are creating friction.
- Your Workplace Superpowers — the skills you bring that others don’t, including the ones no one has formally recognized.
- What Drains You — the tasks, environments, and dynamics that cost your nervous system more than they should.
- Your Sparks — what genuinely energizes you and the conditions where your brain does its best work.
- Time and Attention — where your focus goes versus where you want it to go.
- You and Your Manager — what you need more of, what you need less of, and how to start that conversation.
- Starting the Conversation — sentence starters for asking for support, naming a barrier, preparing for a review, or saying the thing you have been sitting with for months.
