Disclosing diagnosis to employer

Loop217

Hello,

Just some advice/thoughts if possible.

Has anyone had any experience with disclosing their diagnosis to their employer? I am aware some require proof, (I think mine does) but I am reluctant to share my full report with them, just because I feel there are things on there I do not need to disclose to them.

I went through the NHS who then used someone else to carry out the assessment. They wrote the full report to send back to them. Do I then get a report from my GP which is a 'condensed' version which I can give to my employer, or is the one report the standard one to share?

Also any thoughts on how to go about speaking to them and going through reasonable adjustments?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • If your employer wants to see proof can you take a copy then blank out the bits you don't want seen and copy that or cut bits out and copy? I am presuming they only want to see that a professional confirms you are autistic.

    If you think it appropriate you could send an email to your employer as it gives you chance to work out what to say without having to remember and say face to face.

    Thank you.

    I think the general pattern as you've also mentioned is to prepare and work out how you will approach it as well as what you are going to say. I will also speak to my GP about getting the cover letter.
