Done it. Sometimes it helped set up a call quicker, and other times they either ignored/didn’t see or sent back something like “our team will review your application and if there’s a potential fit we’ll reach out”.
No harm in reaching out.

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team.
