It seems helpful for people to be able to use sense making to deal with neurodivergent traits that pop up in professional settings. In other words, to self-identity, to allow others to put a label on a trait or behavior that one might be displaying could be helpful to the observer. What do you think?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Yes, I agree that sharing a diagnosis can help others understand why they might be seeing a certain type of behaviour. As long as it doesn't slip into stereotyping! As well as that, one of the best things I got out of sharing my diagnosis at work was a sense of community - I had so many people seek me out and say "me too!" or share stories about their family members.

Such an important, and especially in the context of dyscalculia.
