The year is 2026. The first interview where I felt 100% okay about diclosing I am neurodivergent upfront, and man was I wrong about it. I was diagnosed in 2016, and mistakenly felt that there’s genuine awareness now that we all have different neurotypes and some are more marginalised l, more subject to discrimination than others. Especially in the world of HR. I felt that it isn’t (shouldn’t) a sticking point when it comes to accommodating diverse workers in a workforce, however… What happened: Indiscoosed, stating this does notnimpact my ability to perform the role. The response wasn't interest or enthusiasm. Neither interviewer knew what Neurodivergent meant — the HR partner even referred to Neurodivergence as “being on the spectrum 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I’m almost 42, and late-diagnosed with ADHD 10 years ago, Autism 2 years ago. A decade has shown me massive change in social attitudes, awareness and visibility — and yet, and yet… instead of a positive or enthusiastic response to my disclosure I was put on the spot with follow up questions about my condition to work — and thinking isn’t this kind of illegal? We have a looking way to go towards acceptance, let alone respect from the privileged neurotypes of this world. An offer is not on the table, and I am not stupid. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
