Is it generally considered a bad idea to share with others that you have been diagnosed with ADHD? How have others handled sharing diagnosis information with friends, family, work, etc?

Found out two weeks ago and don't have a diagnosis yet, but I've been very open about it.

I struggled hard at work before and my boss is excited that I now know why and very keen on helping me deal with it. Unfortunately those kinds of bosses are rare and we'll be parting ways in a few months, so I'm unsure about how I'll handle it next time.
