Theme 1	Subtheme	Quotes
Need for flexibility	Striving to respect fixed rules and working hours	“The culture of the organization is rigid in terms of rules, […] you have to respect deadlines and so on, and this is difficult for me, especially when I have to perform tasks that I do not want to do.” (A.L.)
	Striving to respect fixed rules and working hours	“I would prefer to manage my schedule as I want, but I also understand that since it is a job where you must collaborate a lot with colleagues, it is not possible for everyone to come and go whenever they want.” (P.C.)
	Struggling to perform repetitive and boring tasks	“For me, following procedures takes twice as much effort as other people. When I had to learn to use Drive or Teams to manage the collaboration with neuropsychiatrists, I had anxiety and stress.” (L.Q.)
	Need for autonomy and dynamism in work management	“I have a lot of autonomy in my work, for example I have projects that I follow independently, and I would like to keep it.” (S.D.C.)
	Need for innovation	“There are always new things, there is always something new, new projects, and I like this because I constantly have new stimuli.” (S.A.)
	Managing inattention and perfectionism	“I always keep a piece of paper to remind me what to do and how to organize my work but sometimes it happens that I forget about calls or important things because I was focused on something else. In the past I was scolded for these aspects but now with drug therapy it is better.” (P.C.)
