"also your supervisor is human so he can understand your problem" He is human, so he can misunderstand it as well. And some people are immune to explanations. Also note OP specifically said that he himself can "easily misunderstand people", so a discussion could be misleading. | |
| Mar 8, 2018 at 5:17 | comment | added | nengel | This is very risky, and OP did already note that they don't want to do it because people misunderstand the diagnosis a lot. (That's a very good reason. I certainly wouldn't want to mention e.g. schizophrenia either, because most people think either "screaming axe murderer" or get it confused with multiple personality disorder. That's not going to be helpful at all when your real problem is that you didn't catch the last sentence because you thought someone else was saying something behind you.) | |
