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

  • There is support out their to help people bridge the gap in explaining and disclosing an autism diagnosis to a current employer. You can contact the national autism societies general enquiry line to see if it is possible for them to signpost you to an organisation or get in contact with with your local autism ambassador. which can not only explain autism and answer your employer questions they might have but also help arrange reasonable adaption in the workplace to improve your performance so you do not have to go through the stress of explaining autism in general and how it affects yourself.
