Adult diagnosis - experiences informing work

Hi

I'm looking at getting a formal diagnosis, after speaking to a psychologist who can help me with it. I mostly want it for myself, my own understanding, and not feeling like a "fraud" in the ND community. 

However, I would love for a diagnosis to allow me to gain some kind of understanding of me by my work place (at least my managers). 

What experiences have you guys had with informing your work places of your diagnosis? I have read a post where someone had a very negative experience. I am wondering what other experiences people have had. Especially where adjustments had been made to accommodate. 

Cheers

Dave

  • My coming out was used as an excuse to bully me even more - with HR approval - in subtle, nasty ways.

    My hours were 6am-13:30 - so they moved the team meetings from 9am to 2pm.

    The promises of CPD training courses turned into elusive, vague, wishy-washy talk-  and never any action.     I had to complain to the very top to get my advanced programming training.
