I don’t share my Dx with anyone not in a close social circle. I don’t want my investors or clients knowing as i don’t want them to have concerns about my ability to focus on their needs.
No they don’t, doesn’t concern them. I’m perfectly able to manage this myself
My managers do, but HR does not and I’d like to keep it that way. I know it’s a protected disability but if my managers are able to accommodate it I don’t see why I need to involve HR. I watched someone else go through that and the amount of hoops they had to jump through was insane. Besides I haven’t been to a psychiatrist in years so I’d have to go through all that again just for them to sign a letter stating that the diagnosis I received when I was 7 is still valid. My accommodations are minimal and nothing that someone without my diagnosis wouldn’t also ask for: A corner cube away from the door, ability to flex my schedule (my company has a flexible work policy already), context when scheduling meetings. The only thing HR would do for me is guarantee that these requests were met, but since my managers have met them without complaint or push back it’s not worth it to me. I don’t take advantage of them I simply explained that if they want me to be as productive as possible then I need as few distractions as possible.

My global CEO is in the news right now accused of torturing an executive who has ADHD. What do you think?

I don’t advertise around, so no, but there are some surveys that ask if you have any neurodivergence and I usually mark as yes, but no one cares, which is fine… I keep my powers a secret from the mortals haha 😂
I am dyslexic and have ADHD. These are no excuses why you can’t to the job. Einstein didn’t hid behind it to come up with his theories, Richard Branson with both ADHD and dyslexia didn’t stop him. David Neeleman from Jet blue neither.
It’s not a disability nor a condition. It is a different way of thinking that does not go with the “traditional” approach others take. I despise people who hid behind such things.
Yes it is frustrating sometimes but as long as you find the right people to provide you with the right tools, then nobody even needs to know if you have adhd or dyslexia or whatever else that you may have.
If you have a good and flexible employer, explain this is how you work and just be clear about how much time (realistically) it will take to achieve topic XYZ. Or that you need 10 minute walk to “clear your head” or whatever you need to do to best stay focused.
"This famous person had X so you have no excuse!" is toxic af
Yes. It helps when requesting accommodation and helps management be in the loop. I worked with a senior manager who had autism and adhd. He encouraged me to always let my employers know I had adhd and he encouraged me to believe it's "my superpower", not something to be ashamed of.
Pro
I don’t share. I’ve only ever gotten judgement from previous jobs/coworkers for sharing other diagnosis so I don’t intent to share with anyone. I keep up with my work and am considered a high performer.
Yes they do. I think even before I told them they could tell because back then I wasn't on medications so I was off the chain. But they are really cool about it and actually very accomodating.
In a roundabout way. I don’t hide it but I do t flaunt it either. HR does not know I’m not dealing with that can of worms.
