Have you ever wondered if you should disclose your ADHD to your employer, boss, or coworkers? Maybe even your clients?
First, this is your choice, but hopefully this discussion will help you make the right choice for your situation.
This week we have back Grant Crowell, Author of Grantasms Creative twisted words for cool people! and a self-professed social wordsmith.
