Test the waters! Something I forgot to mention in the video: how well do I know the people I’d be sharing with? Understanding your colleagues' (or even your boss's) attitudes towards mental health and neurodiversity can help you gauge their likely response. If you're unsure, observe how they talk about or treat other neurodivergent individuals or mental health issues as a way to test the waters.
Thank you for this video. In this scenario, we are talking about sharing in a place where you already have been hired. What about sharing during the interview process? I know everyone is different and we are to trust our instincts, but... I have less trust in myself during high stress situations. I am currently in vocational rehab trying to get a job and have a lady who is helping me with my resume, keeping me on track, giving me feedback on how I respond to questions and the like. Was at an interview where the people hiring were placing honestly way up on their list of priorities. They had asked about why the other woman was there and she explained that she is my job coach without explaining voc rehab. I took her lead and left it at that, but it felt dishonest in a way. I do not know these people, they have not asked about health or any special challenges, so I felt I answered their questions. Ones personal health is on a needs to know basis, but it felt like a lie of omission. Does that make sense? I don;t want to start employment with a lie.
