Everything must be labeled, these days.

Labeling is the keyword for every behavior in Research, nowadays.
It serves as diagnostic criteria, I agree, despite penalizing patients’ knowledge and experience.

The discrepancy is about Disclosure: employers still rely heavily upon Diagnoses rather than subjects’ experiences.

Sufferers always provide the best insight into the condition.
We are all unique even within the same diagnosis.
Listening to the individual fosters accommodating options.

ADHD is more versatile, with specific positions welcoming the disclosure.
There is still no official Disability Report Form.

Most neurodivergent exhaust themselves to Masking disclosures.

ADHDers are in a slightly advantaged position.
They throw their diagnosis, as they describe it, like it or not, as result of Impulsivity.
The good news is Impulsivity being sought-after in fast decision-taking jobs.

ADHDers should research which jobs value Impulsivity before applying, while breaking the Worry-Paralysis typical of Introverts.
Introverts have plenty of initiatives, they get lost in rumination, they are not less productive than Extroverts who should give testimony, to the extent of taking Introverts physically to prospective employers, when friends or family.
Online Addressing can play a role, nevertheless.

Giving Testimony is rewarding in ADHD. 
One of the biggest obstacles in Mental Disorders is lack of Camaraderie, or Distrust.
Building Community is my main goal.

Impulsivity as a Gift.

The first priority of ADHD is Staying Alive.
Impulsivity is one of these gifts.
It is not meant as Arrogance, never, something all NT should know.
It is the desire to be listened to, like watching a movie together.

Impulsivity is not permanent. It abates when needs are met.
The reason a rewarding job is often more satisfactory than an insensitive family.
ADHDers crave Camaraderie. I can’t watch tv alone.

After all, talking of Arrogance, who scores higher…? The NT refusing to share our favorite drama once a week or us?

Altogether, latest research defines Impulsivity/Compulsivity as Fear of the Unknown.

Looking forward to enjoying a movie with my wife is an Incognito.

I don’t fear tomorrow, I m a Believer.
I fear tonight, despite Jesus being with me all the time.
Again, living in the Present Moment is the most feared experience, since we focus on the task at hand, forgetting Jesus’ Presence.
