Should I tell work about my autism?

Travelman

I've recently been diagnosed with autism and learning difficulties.  I work full time and find work challenging sometimes.  Should I tell work about my diagnosis or would they stop giving me work (I'm employed on a self-employed basis).

    If you find it hard, maybe you should tell them. I haven't told anyone at work, as I don't feel the need to

    I'll have to think this through for when I have more work, but from what I gather, any disability information that an employee gives to their boss is legally kept between the boss and the employee, unless the employee gives express permission for their colleagues to know.  Bosses aren't allowed to disclose this information to work colleagues without mutual consent.
