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

  • u fear correctly 

    turn it around

    have some suggestions on how they can make things better for you 

    eg having a HR contact to act as mentor

    ways to make your environment easier for u  eg tinted glasses , bigger monitor, headphones , extra breaks, laptop, tablet

    make list of what you are really good at and ask for more of that work

    if you are full time maybe drop down to part time for period until thing start to run more smoothly
