I was struggling at work and I did inform my boss of my ADHD. Fortunately, I work for a large national corporation that prides itself on diversity and accomodation. I was provided with a workplace assessment and a few options were suggested including moving me to a desk in a quieter area, providing me with noise cancelling headphones, providing a “do not disturb” sign to put up to advise colleagues not to distract me, and moving my shift to a time that was easier for me to manage. I am really lucky, and the only reason I had disclosed is because I had been working with my manager for a year by that point, and I knew that her own son had some developmental issues, so she would be understanding.
