Hi all,
I am an autistic male with an official diagnosis from Psychiatry-UK. I revealed myself as autistic to my workplace, and the results were disappointing.
My knowledge of corporate environment tells me that the HR is just scared of a discriminations lawsuit and advised my managers to keep me at distance. They cannot just fire me because I waited for 2 years to disclose my condition.
Some questions:
Thanks
Not only are you not required to disclose The average HR department would prefer if you didn’t disclose at least not in your CV or interview. You absolutely cannot be sacked for not disclosing your disability, but not disclosing your disability may limit your ability to rely on certain protections if you have a discrimination lawsuit down the line.
in my personal opinion it’s best to disclose soon after you’ve got the job.
reasonable adjustments can include:
> You absolutely cannot be sacked for not disclosing your disability,
You have no idea of what you are talking about. If you have been in the workplace for less than 2 years you can be fired without any reason or explanation. HR will never tell you "we do not want aspies in the workplace", they will only tell you some bullcrap about "cultural fit" or something.
