Views on Autism Awareness poster from other adult Aspies

Lotus

I was wondering what you all think about the Autism Awareness poster on the website to be used in work places. I liked the fact it has strengths as well as the issues that may need support. However I did not like the suggestion of someone being my "buddy" at workplace functions. I know it might help some, but I don't want to go to work functions as I find them tedious, so I don't want to give colleagues a reason to insist I go as they will be my "buddy".

Would you put this poster up in your workplace?

  • I will actually forward that to the NT's and agree it is classed as a disability/impairment under the Equality Act 2010.  These lifelong mental health conditions are just that, conditions.  For most of us adults, it is hidden from us until something occurs and I wish others were more thoughtful as I would have known 8-10 years ago if someone had said something.  I always knew I was different, thought I was like Stephen Fry with Bipolar but turns out I have Autistic Spectrum Condition not yet diagnosed.
