Jesus, I'm lucky enough to not have encountered those types of peeps. I've only really divulged my AuADHD to certain coworkers I've known for a while. For me what's tiring is the "omg I didn't know!" and I have to explain masking (my work face) and how working in a high stress environment like healthcare helps to hyper focus my ADHD because all the tasks are short term interventions and the scripts I use to talk to people negate me saying something stupid.
