Autism at work

HappilyUnhappy

Hi all,

I’ve just been diagnosed with autism, and it makes so much sense with all I’ve been through over the years, I’m 41!

however, I’m rostered on a training course next week at a place I’ve never been too before and involves a taxi which I’ve already raised as a concern at work. Does anybody know if I can request for the training to take place at a depot I’m familiar with as a reasonable adjustment. I’m struggling to cope with the thought of this new training as it is, even more so as it’s at this place I’ve never been before, and hear stories that the taxis get lost on route trying to find it.

thanks for your time

  • You can ask for a reasonable adjustment, if they are unable to support you look at applying to access to work. ( a quick Google search). You can apply online and they can help with alot of things like mentors, travel buddies, taxis to and from work etc. They can do in work assessments too to see if there is anything else they can advise to your employer or help pay for.
