Wow, never thought I would run into another person that had this condition. While I do not have it, at one of my last full time positions I lead a team with a woman who had this same issue, and she had brought in a medical note as proof etc. She wound up on my team because I was good at dealing with people that have differing needs and getting the most out of them. I really didn't care about her schedule and if she needed to work 1p till the evening, and the company was saying they didn't mind, but in the end what her and I both found is they really did. Once I left the company she was forced out as they changed her schedule to 9-1700 and her productivity dropped and so they let her go. Financial services is likely a bad industry for you to try to work in as they typically value bureaucracy and a fairly strict schedule over most things. Not saying they are bad, it just seems to me they are stuck to a concept of time that can be tough for someone who has your condition to fit in, hell it is hard for some devs just to work in them because of it. I don't see an easy solution for you, as what I learned researching the condition before is that you cannot control this, your body is making chemicals and releasing hormones that are forcing your hand and doing it in a way that is different than most of us. From reading too I learned that stress actually increases the issue for anyone suffering from this too. So my suggestion is to find a place where you can work a more flexible schedule otherwise you will get a reputation potentially as being a low producer. Just one other point, you likely are seeing some more issues because frankly the younger generations have a bad rap about not being the "dedicated" worker, or being lazy. I don't see it that way, but you can find statements all over the place to that affect and older managers will sometimes have bias that way, it is just they way it is. Again, financial services is probably one of the worst for some of that BS. Also, your comment about living like a proper adult, screw that. If you are being a productive member of society, being responsible, paying your bills and producing for your employer as well as enjoying life then you are a proper adult. Find a place you can be happy, productive and successful and be humble but don't apologize for having some specific needs too.
