I keep the details of my idiosyncrasies to myself. Folks with ADHD often tell others explicitly.
To my kindred ‘special’ people, do you tell others specifically what makes you different, or do you keep it to yourself? Why?

I just recently have been navigating telling people around me. And I love your rules. Only difference is that if I am in a professional setting I sometimes mention my “symptoms” as “personality traits” without mentioning ADHD just to manage expectations
That is extremely fair - and I was purposefully vague about what is included in the profession setting. I’m actually quite open with my fellow FTEs once I have landed a position - I’m just quiet before things are set in stone.
