Hello, I have just been diagnosed with Aspergers  (I do personally prefer this term).. long story about how I finally arrived here, but for now I need to ask; I am a registered nurse..should I tell the NMC?  Would this help me or would they call my practice into question/would there be negative consequences for me? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you. I am in a union and in fact have requested a meeting with them..the NMC issue just occurred to me as I've only just had my ASD assessment and diagnosis, so I'm thinking about how to proceed at work. I have a week off on holiday now and it's still all sinking in and I'm thinking about how to tell my colleagues and bosses..some may not be surprised but I fear cynicism from others..all that 'fashionable diagnosis' rubbish. As you all know it is a long and difficult road to diagnosis (I'm 48) and not everyone understands or appreciates how difficult it all is.
