Receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life changes how you understand your past — and it raises a practical, pressing question: do you tell your employer? This book helps you decide, prepare, and have that conversation on your own terms. Drawing on the real experiences of late-diagnosed adults, it walks you through every step, from understanding your legal rights and identifying what you actually need at work, to choosing the right moment and handling whatever response comes next. You'll find clear language for describing your experience without over-explaining, practical scripts and checklists, and honest guidance for the moments when things don't go smoothly. Crucially, this book does not tell you what to do. It gives you the tools to make your own decision — whether that means disclosing fully, asking for specific adjustments, or simply keeping your diagnosis private. Written with warmth and realism, it treats disclosure as a personal choice, not a requirement. Part of The Late Diagnosis Library.
