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.
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.

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.
