Tbh the advice I've heard is that if you are put on a PIP then it's time to search for a new job. Not even in terms of neurodivergence but just general advice for everyone. I think PIPs are generally businesses covering their asses so they can fire you without risk of a lawsuit.
Personally I'd give up on the script and convincing them it's a disability aid and instead spend that energy job hunting instead.
(To me, your boss asking you what you'd do if you lost access to it, sounds like they're already convinced that you're not the employee they want...)
I have. Showing them a script is just more for my own personal satisfaction at this point to have someone else see that I am capable of things, just different competencies.
I have an interview with a place that came highly recommended next week. So, I might just take a Ritalin today and really put work into making a killer presentation for the interview.
The job market is crap, and I am desperate to get this role, lol. It matches up much more strongly with my actual work experience as well.
Wish me luck :)
Good luck!!!
