Did you tell your boss you are neurodivergent? (discuss.online)

I've recently told my boss I've been struggling and need extra help. I told him I was hiding it to avoid negatively impacting my career. He told me it was not a problem and suggested I take a week off work to refresh myself. I was shocked. My company is super helpful and is helping me with resources. I was shocked... I am shocked.

Have you told your work?

Yes, told them I was unhappy with the type of work I do and not even four hours later, my boss took me to a meeting room to tell me she asked the other team leads what new topics there are and presented a few to me to see what would make sense.

It really is that simple. If you're struggling, ask for help. You won't always be this lucky first try, but eventually someone will care.

That's awesome. They assembled a team to help.
