Does anyone know if there's any legal obligation to inform people of an ASD diagnosis? I'm thinking of people like insurers, mortgage companies, DVLA...others? I've not long been diagnosed (in my 50s) and haven't a clue!
Thanks, Chris

I asked my GP about this with regard to travel insurance and they didn’t know the answer. I still don’t know whether I need to declare or not, given that it is classified as medical by the NHS, yet is not an illness. I don’t want to declare autism to travel insurers unless I have to as my travel insurance costs are ridiculously high as it is. I would love to know how I can find out the answer to this question before taking out a new policy. All the travel insurers I have asked want me to go through the stages of getting an official policy quote in order to tell me anything about specific conditions and costs, and I don’t want to do that.

For me, autism changed nothing on my travel insurance policy. I declared I had it, I declared that it hadn't ever caused me to cancel travel plans up to this point in my life, and I got the same price as if I didn't declare it but with backup should something happen.
