Hi,

I have incoming interviews with FAANG companies and I would like to take advices for these 2 topics:

1. I fled from my country because of imprisonment and persecution risks related political reasons, and sought asylum in the US. During the immigration process, I was in custody for 6 months in detention center of ICE. Immigration judge found my request reasonable and let me live under protection of US. Now, there is an almost 1 year gap from my last job. When I speak with HR from any company, every one of them asking what I did during this one year gap. Currently I am answering like "personal time, interests" etc. Should I tell my story?

2. I am a victim of ADHD, it is a mental disorder causing prevents giving attention on almost anything. Because of that, I have a serious memory problem makes me forgets details frequently and works requires long attention time makes me exhausted quickly. I can handle memory problem by taking notes, and reduce symptoms of ADHD by using medicines. Should I talk about that? For example, if they ask about my weak point etc?

I am looking forward to your advices,
