How do you deal with people, like bosses, supervisors, telling you that you have the energy because you are young. For instance, you don’t need a rest period or you should be able to pick up more work days because they see you as young and capable. I don’t want to tell my diagnosis because then it feels like people pity you instead of respect.

      I have some accommodations at work, but none pertaining to my energy levels, unfortunately. I work like a dog, being the only woman of color in my department, so I feel pressured to do more than my white coworkers, especially the older people. I don’t get any recognition for my contributions to the company, and have been there for 4 years this May. It sucks not being taken seriously, but I’m glad for the ADA and the accommodations I already have.
