Your manager doesn’t need to know your entire diagnosis. They’re supposed to know what you can and can’t do, and whether there’s a reasonable way to work around it.
The law calls this the interactive process. Your employer has to engage in it. That means talking through your limitations and what accommodation might work, not turning your supervisor into your physician.
Knowing where that line sits can be the difference between an accommodation request going smoothly and turning into something bigger.
