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!

  • When I had my assesment, I was given a full report, and the Clinical Psychiatrist gave me another short report. It only had on that I'd been diagnosed with ASD, the date of diagnosis, and her contact details.

    She said that it was for official stuff, where you don't need to give all the details. She assured me that it woukd suffice for most situations.

    Maybe contact them and ask for a summarised one, with just those details. Worst that can happen is they say no, but I imagine that they get asked frequently. It shouldn't be a problem.

    Hope you get it sorted to your satisfacion!

    Yeah, I heard that some clinics do that, giving out a short report that you can show to others in additional to the full report. Thanks for suggesting that I contact them to ask, as it does make sense that something like this should be a common question!

    The lady that assessed me said "That's all you need, apart from medical stuff. Give that one".

    I think with the length of the reports most HR, or things of that nature probably prefer to recieve two paragraphs!

    They should do it for you qwerty.

    All the best.
