“It’s very tricky, because if you put it on an application, there is a very good chance you won’t get the job,” says Cappelli. “You should not apply for jobs you can’t do, but you can say, ‘I have the following problem and need the following accommodation.” If an illness presents itself with personality issues, but does not affect job performance, “you might tell your supervisor that — ‘sometimes I might come across this way and this is why.’ And that’s a pretty smart thing to do even for someone with minor personality issues, like someone who is introverted.”
