Situation at work

I'm on the waiting list to be diagnosed, I believe it's spectrum+ ADHD.

I've been at work for 2+ years. I enjoyed my role for 18/20 months until well it came clear that it wouldn't take me anywhere and that having a varied workload was frowned upon. I need my workload to be different everyday because otherwise I get distracted. My performance remains the same, but I have to make a proper effort. Also knowing that I'll never find my job fulfilling and reach my potential makes me quite depressed and anxious.

So the question is... Could I request a change of role given the circumstances? I don't know if this could qualify as "adjustments" or they'll tell me to simply get a different role.

I also benefit from a varied workload.

I think the answer to the question really depends a lot on what field you are in and what the company is like. You might also be better off elsewhere.

I've no experience of a varied workload being part of reasonable adjustments so I don't know about that aspect.
