We discuss disclosing your diagnosis to your employer, techniques on how you can get accommodations without disclosing.

Today's episode focuses on the perception of Blackness. With elements of the ADHD diagnostic criteria crossing over with stereotypes used to describe people of colour. Things like "You're so loud" or "You're being defensive". How can we challenge those who have these perceptions including other people of colour and those closest to us.
