Disclosure at work

It's legal as long as they say it's your performance or refuse to give a reason.  If they said it was nondisclosure you totally could have sued and won! My friend did it.  That is a cut and dry case.  In the UK, anyway.  

In my job I was sacked after five months because the first six months were a probationary period and they got rid of me while I had less employment rights.

i have reason to believe you are new, so Welcome to this Forum  

if the issues are they don't like the way you move or the way you speak with no inflection etc, its bullshit.  Of course, there are ways to get rid of people you don't like in the first 2 years.  Discrimination is legal in this way, as long as the reason they give has nothing to do with your disability and no reasonablel adjustments could help.  Also, you can totally be bullied out and within the first 2 years you no right to constructive dismissal.

That is totally illegal these days.  You have the right to a tribunal if you get sacked for non disclosure.  They can only sack you if you cannot work because of your disability and didn't tell them about it.

I have had the exact same thing happen to me my local job centre, it’s not too uncommon. At least your job centre didn’t try and force you to travel 39 miles on three buses to another job centre branch because they don’t the resources to assist people with autism.

Honesty is the best policy

Spoken like a true autistic, and I mean no disrespect.

Unfortunately for me, I was ordered to lie and cover up my health issues.

The full story is, the job centre referred me to a private company to help me find employment. This was a mandatory referral, go, or lose my benefits.

The employment advisor at this company openly ordered me to lie about everything,  skills, past employment history, educational qualifications, she said that nobody checks or asks to see certificates.

When I was offered a job, she 'helped' me fill out the health declaration form.  Ordered me to lie about all physical and mental problems in my past, she even told me not to reveal my prescription medications, 'blood pressure tablets'.  And this woman was employee of the month at that company because of her record.

Five months later I was fired for having anxiety problems, autistic behaviour etc etc etc.  And not revealing it on my health declaration.

Honesty is the best policy.

The employer can take you, or leave you. However, if you aren't upfront in the application - and issues arise - then you'll get the sack; with little ground to claim unfair dismissal.

My main problem, I think, is social but it may not be.  Issue is that I don't really know what I would be disclosing and don't want prejudice to affect my situation.  I'd need good feedback on what the issues are first and I haven't really worked it out.  I'll keep plodding on until I get it, i suppose.  I'm going to do as much on line training as I can and do more brain teasers to make my mind sharper.

My diagnosis seems to be based on how unpopular I am!  I take things very literally, I know that and used to think everyone means well and is using logic that I would use.  Also I called the toys (in the assessment)  the most obvious things they could be but I'm an adult and the game was silly to me.

keep it to a minimum only those that need to know eg HR and ur line manager and ask that your diagnosis is kept private information

Only disclose if you think it is in your interest.

That may sound like selfish advice, but that's life.
