graduate school - When is it a good idea to let an academic department (or a professor) know that I have Asperger's (or ADD)?


With Asperger's, the trick is always when to explain it (in a non-awkward situation). I'd like to avoid mentioning it if possible, but it has gotten to the point that I only mention it after committing a major social faux pas, in which case it might be seen as an excuse.


With ADD, this is an issue that happens when people explain things to me. I often don't parse things very well when they're communicated to me verbally since I do have attention lapses. That's the major issue, anyways.


With that said, I do (indirectly) imply that I have both diagnoses on my personal website.
