I have ADHD / GAD (anxiety) and I have not disclosed bc I’m not sure if they’ll use it “against me”

You don't have to share your specific diagnosis to get accomodations! Sometimes you can just let people know that you have a chronic issue that flares up that can make it hard to complete things. That when you have a flare up, you will notify of any delay and work for other team members to cover you or make it up at a different time.
I've have success with this regarding depression flare ups and needing days off work.
For ADHD sometimes it's just having more checkpoints because I know I focus better when I have to show someone my work
Find out what works for you and communicate it, it doesn't have to be in the context of illness but it can be.
following this - also i asked a similar question a couple days ago in the lawyers with ADHD bowl. (not sure if you're a lawyer as well)
i just got diagnosed with ADHD a week ago! at 25 but i got some really helpful responses, the consensus was not to tell anyone!
I feel the same way had no idea about this disorder until a couple of years back from some friends who had this. Getting diagnosed at 33 is super weird as I never had access to mental health care growing up
