A biotech company says it put dopamine-making cells into people’s brains::The experiment to treat Parkinson’s is a critical early test of stem cells’ potential to tackle serious disease.
Don’t tell them next time.

It wouldn’t come up in an interview, unless it’s a tiny business.
Being ADHD myself, it wouldn’t surprise me if the person above made it a topic of conversation themselves. Inability to shut ones mouth is something I am more than familiar with.
It could also be a matter of them disclosing it to get accommodations.
“By the way, I have ADHD, so might need a bit of help here and there” seems entirely reasonable for someone to say in an interview, but might also get them rejected.
Oh it’s totally reasonable to bring it up but I still wouldn’t do it though.
Rarely have I had a company be upfront about any issues they have so I am more than willing to reciprocate.
Pre-employment drug screens test for amphetamines so it will come up on that screening if the company does them.
I have never had a problem with that. If it’s a prescription and it shows on a test, it’s not any business of the prospective employer. When I am at the testing facility, I always disclose to them that I am taking amphetamines. I dunno if they have a box they need to check off for that, but I really don’t care. Since my medications are legal, any disclosure of that testing data would fall directly into the category of HIPAA and not something your average company can handle.
At least in the US, scheduled medication is tracked fairly hard. I suspect my name would come up if the testing facility checks for that kind of thing. (Just speculation: I have no idea how the system works on the backend.)
More speculation: There may be specific markers in legal, scheduled medications. Is that a thing? If so, it might be a clue into legal or illegal use for the test.
That’s a good point. My understanding of how results are provided to employers was incorrect.
You will come up positive on a pre employment drug test though correct?
Depends on the drug. Not all of them do.
