My very ADHD brain. The first time sharing my story.
This is probably one of the most difficult posts I’ve ever written because I’ve been covering up the fact I have ADHD for quite some while now.
Why? Because I was afraid that a current or future employer, partner or business contact would rather deal with someone who’s neurotypical than neurodiverse. Something I now know not to be true.
