First real interviews bring the disclosure question to a head. This thread trades real outcomes, not one-size advice.
ADHD means I fidget, blank on questions, and struggle to sit still for 45 minutes. Do I disclose in the interview? In the application? Not at all?
Prompts
- Disclosure outcomes — success stories and cautionary ones?
- Does industry change the calculus (tech vs. finance vs. public sector)?
- If you didn't disclose, did you regret it?
- Strategies for managing symptoms without disclosing?
Both choices are valid. Offer frameworks and lived experience — never a single 'right' answer.
