MODERATORS
I never mention my ADHD to anyone but my therapist and friends I've known for several years. I don't want people to change how they treat me, whether for better or worse, when they find out about it.
I find it helps navigate certain quirks and get the help I need to thrive. For example, after disclosing I have ADHD, people are much more open to move when I am affected by background noise.
