  • I hid it initially, and then gradually let the mask slip while demonstrating my amazing engineer powers over the first year. An engineer with ADHD is like a pole dancer with one leg - at first one might think it’s a bad career choice, but you just watch me dance for a minute and then it’ll make sense.

    If the interview process is inherently ableist, then I’d have nothing to lose by disclosing it immediately. Especially since HR generally doesn’t make the actual hiring decision.

    The coding? In little bite-sized pieces. I follow the Unix philosophy of “make each program do one thing well”. It’s much less daunting to build it one piece at a time.

    I’m fortunate to have an employer who understands that the architectural work is done while I appear to be walking around doing nothing.
