Tether: A Personalized Support Assistant for Software Engineers with ADHD
Equity, diversity, and inclusion in software engineering often overlook neurodiversity, particularly the experiences of developers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

But Lewis-Martin wasn't the first person close to Adams to score a job on the show. In 2020, Adams’ son, Jordan Coleman, served as actor Forest Whitaker’s personal assistant during the show’s second season.
