Should I Get an Autism or ADHD Diagnosis as an Adult? | What Helped Me Decide

Is it worth getting an ADHD or autism diagnosis later in life? I’m Brett, The AuDHD Boss—an autistic manager with ADHD—and in this episode, I’m answering one of the most common questions I get from late-diagnosed professionals: “Should I get a formal diagnosis?”
In this episode, I share:
• The personal questions I asked before getting diagnosed

• How diagnosis helped me at work (and when I didn’t actually need it)

• Why self-diagnosis is still valid and valuable

• The pros and cons of disclosing at work

• What you need to consider before taking the next step

Whether you're wondering about accommodations, clarity, or just curious what others have experienced—this episode will help you explore the decision from a strength-based, real-world perspective.
