Advice please

I recently had a sit down with the Workplace Needs Assessment Team and they made me do a dyslexia screening tool and then the AQ50 and EQ60.

I don't have dyslexia, that was obvious from the results, but with the AQ50 I scored 42 and on the EQ60 I scored 14. They passed on this information to my trainer who is aware and asked if I wanted to share the information about Autism with the Training Intake I am on.

I am looking for some advice about this all. I know its not a formal diagnosis and I will still need to do that, but for all intent and purposes I am treating it as such until I do get the definitive diagnosis, and so are the Workplace Needs Assessment Team.

I know I don't have to share that information with the intake, but the 3 days I have had so far, where I was masking all the time, made me so tired that I slept for 12 hours, which is unusual for me.

My question is do I share this information with them and if so how do I bring it up?

  • You might find it easier to not use the label of autism. Just tell them that you have a condition that means that you sometimes have difficulties with communicating with others and processing information. If you appear to be responding strangely, it is because of this condition.
