Protect yourself.
If you disclose that you have an accommodation, you might need paperwork to back it. If you want to keep working there, I'd be honest about whatever you are experiencing. A good management team would never use this against you.

Keep a journal of things that happen that you think are discriminatory. But you must be factual when documenting. You cannot use "weak" words like always, should have, very, really, or sometimes.

You must be factual.

Not everyone needs to know what's going on with you. If you made it clear with management that you have a defined disability there shouldn't be repercussions.

But the best way to be an advocate is to be one for yourself.

Do the best you can, and let your superiors know when you're having a bad day. Or even an "off" day. And document everything, no matter what. You have no recourse without it.

Be careful. Do the best you can. And good luck to you.
Thanks for this!
