No I would not. There’s no need and I can only imagine it would disadvantage you somehow.
I don’t think a PowerPoint bio is the best forum. Have you tried mentioning it in a casual conversation with coworkers first?
"At my 6th grade graduation, I received the superlative for 'Most Irrepressible'. Another student asked my teacher what that meant, and she said,'it means most days, if we want to talk to him, we have to try to catch him with a butterfly net'."
That’s awesome that your teacher saw your great personality and positive potential from an early age!!
I wouldn’t put that information in a powerpoint per se and often other employees have the same issues so you can usually tell but then it opens up a gateway for often challenging conversations as well as the company may try to stray away from the topic due to any possibilities of HIPPA issues with HR company wide.
Is this for manual of me or similar type intro exercise? I never say ADHD but I do share all preferences and quirks *that are relevant and likely to impact people who work with me* (whether adhd or not). My profile has lots of things like:
-I find clear, written instructions the most helpful
-jack of all trades and always keen to learn new skills. Particularly excited about [specific new thing on this project]
-on very meeting-heavy days, I sometimes turn off my camera in internal meetings. I’m still listening, just a bit camera fatigued!
-etc
I don’t mention anything like the fidgets I use to concentrate that’s outside of camera view because that doesn’t matter to anyone else or affect them in any way.
I wouldn’t.
To clarify: I'm not looking to say, Hi, I'm Bob, and I'm autistic. This is more about pointing out quirks that can sometimes be misread by neurotypicals.
Can you give a bit more context about the situation so we can provide more helpful advice? Like is this a big kick-off meeting with 5 min total for intros or a more in-depth getting-to-know-you team session? Internal or with clients? Etc. The answer about what’s appropriate depends heavily on the situation
Adhd here.
I wouldn't tell them during any interviews unless it's truly relevant.
