Should You Tell Your Boss About Your ADHD?

To tell or not to tell. It's one of the most common questions I hear from clients, and the answer is never simple.

Disclosing can open doors to support: reasonable adjustments, flexibility, understanding. In the UK, ADHD is covered by the Equality Act 2010. But disclosure also carries risks — stigma persists.

Before deciding, consider: What do you need? If you need specific adjustments, disclosure might be necessary. If you can manage with your own strategies, you might prefer privacy.

Remember: your diagnosis is your information to share. You owe it to no one. You share it when — and if — it serves you.
