My manager is very old, 20 yrs experience in IT . When a team member told that he had ADHD, He congratulated him and told keep working harder.

Have you noticed any change in the attitude towards the person afterwards? Telling to keep working harder ... I can't read the air, thus no idea what to infer.

I’ve been pretty transparent that I have a slight attention disorder with most people in my life

In my case it's ASD too. That's the reason I hesitate to tell others. I just pretend to be boring enough to avoid people.

Yep and they have told me to just focus getting my deliverables out on time and if they're a delay just tell on time and let them if what they can do to support me.They are super chill and supportive.

Glad to hear that.
Would you explain a bit more about how did you explain to them ?
I'm not really good when it comes to in-person interactions. So, it will be really helpful if you can provide some more details. Can I DM if u don't mind.
