Help! How do I tell my manager i have autism?

Sam H

I fear...

judgement and being treated like a child who doesn't understand anything (I do, I just struggle with sensory issues and have been masking anxiety in social/work settings for 40 years!)

Any suggestions welcome. I know they have a legal obligation to support me, - i've laready told the HR manager, but I'm thinking more of the effect it will have on our personal relationship.

thank you all

  • I just emailed mine.

    What probably made it easier is the old manager left so she was new into the team. She's not based in the same building as me so that helped. It didn't really affect how she treated me. 

    I attached some of the information for employers from the NAS to the email which she said was helpful.
