Late Diagnosis ADHD at Work: How to Figure Out What You Need and Whether to Disclose | Dr. Bowen Marshall

<p>Getting a diagnosis as an adult can feel like an answer. Then you&#39;re sitting with that information, years into a career, with no real roadmap for what comes next. You don&#39;t know what you need. You don&#39;t know how to ask for it. And you&#39;re not sure whether telling your employer is going to help you or hurt you.</p><p>Brett continues his conversation with Dr. Bowen Marshall, PhD — licensed psychotherapist, author, and career coach specializing in ADHD, Autism, and neurodivergent career development. Dr. Marshall works with ADHDers, AuDHDers, and Autistics to help them build the systems, workflows, and strategies that let them thrive at work and in life.</p><p>This episode gets into what late diagnosis actually looks like from a therapeutic perspective — why so many late-diagnosed adults don&#39;t yet know what they need even after getting a diagnosis, and how burnout accumulates when you&#39;ve spent years running your nervous system without the right supports in place.</p><p>They also cover the disclosure decision directly. Not a simple yes or no, but a real framework for thinking through who benefits, what the risks are, and how to read your specific workplace before making a call that has actual career consequences.</p><p>Dr. Marshall closes with something worth sitting with: rejection is protection.</p><p>This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Part 1 covers the AuDHD leadership trap, unspoken corporate rules, and the real difference between masking and code switching.
