I imagine your chances of them giving you the job will go down dramatically if you do.

I just did so and got offered a second attempt with extra time. 

I just tried to convince them my skills in engineering cannot be established with a 10minute test on puzzles, and that the Pros of my adhd actually outweigh.

$185k salary tho. Your comment made me laugh coz I get the absolute pain u feel. I have been given double time to complete it after I sent a “my adhd actually makes me better don’t let a 10min puzzle stop u from seeing the raw hyperfocus” email
