Workplace Rights and Disclosure Decisions

Navigating- legal protections and strategic communication about your neuro-identity.

Strategizing Your Identity

Disclosure is a Strategy, not an obligation. You have the right to keep your diagnosis private.

When to Disclose:

If you need a physical accommodation that costs money (e.g., a special desk).

If your performance is suffering due to your ADHD and you need legal protection before a review.

If you want to help lead a "Neurodiversity Employee Group" and be an advocate.

The 'Need' Script: *"I've noticed that I'm much more productive when I have my projects in a visual format. I'd like to start using a shared Trello board for our team—is that something we can try?"* Notice that this script asks for the Solution without emphasizing a "Deficit."
