report for others to see

qwerty

I got a diagnosis earlier this year, and the report I received was contained mainly the things that we talked about during the assessment meeting, and a lot of the report contained excerpts from the personal history I wrote for the assessor. The final report was sent to my GP and I have an exact copy of it as well. I feel that the report is way too personal to give to employers, such as containing some embarrassing examples of my childhood. I'm not sure how to get a report that I can give to employers? I've heard that some clinics do give out a report that can be shown to others, but not every clinic does that. I'm not sure what to do when they ask for medical evidence. Thanks in advance if you can share any relevant experiences!

  • If they really insist on seeing a report, I'd just ask your GP for a simple letter outlining the basic diagnosis.

    If they need a fuller report, I would photocopy your original, on the copy, obscure anything not relevant to your job with a black felt tip marker and then copy that so they can't hold it up to the light and see through the redactions.  

    If the page is almost completely black with all the redactions and all that's left is 'this person has ASD', then that's their problem.
