    I would never recommend people out themselves to a potential employer. I talk about my ADHD and amphetamines lots at work now but that’s because I’m in a position where I am a relatively rare commodity and my job is already seen as the weirdos on site. I do it knowing it won’t make my job easier but because I see so many apprentices struggling with the same shit without realizing they might just be different from other people. And the amphetamine talk shocks people which I find funny but anyways. Maybe some day it’ll be OK to do but for now I have to assume that outting yourself as autistic or ADHD is just a good way to get discriminated against in most fields.
