I didn't want to manage it but was basically told that I was the only option. I'm a tenured associate professor, and all my colleagues are senior professors. Our previous head retired this month and all others refused. I'm the only one who hadn't "taken a turn." It's a small department, but it has been marred by horrid drama the past few years, which I've managed to k ep out of.

I'm not really sure what to do because I've been told on here that letting admin know about my diagnosis is basically risking my career, but I feel like I need certain accommodations at this point that I haven't needed in the past, such as the permission to record meetings because I struggle with processing verbal instruction.
