I don't like to bring up my disability but I guess I'll answer any questions if they come up

    A really interesting topic @JenCo! What do you tend to do?

    For anyone who is unsure how to start the conversation with employers then here is an article that looks at talking about disability as a job interviewee.

    I bring it up early as I'm hard of hearing and little adjustments can make such a big difference. I'm always worried that my hearing issues will be interpreted as rude or uncaring so I like to point it out asap to avoid that.
