I’ve been telling people now. I really didn’t until my formal diagnoses and medication. I’m much better able to focus and multitask so I am better at my job. Plus I did great in the 2 month temporary leadership position. I’m just understanding why I’ve done so poorly on promotion interviews before. I am waiting on an interview date for yet another promotion I’ve put in for and hoping/striving to do much better when I’m able to focus more and not get lost in my answers. Since the diagnoses I could technically ask for some type of an accommodation because ADD is recognized by the Americans With Disabilities Act. But, I don’t want to get the job that way. I’d feel like I don’t deserve it if an accommodation is made to allow me to pass, while the others that put in for it must do it the normal way. I know things are harder for us sometimes and a behavioral interview with multipart questions and answers is especially tough for me.
