Sharing diagnostic report

RnR

Could I ask for a quick sense-check from the group?

My workplace HR are setting up a meeting to discuss some adjustments that I have suggested (yay!), but are requesting access to my full diagnosis report (err...).

There is information in the report which I deem to be personal and irrelevant to my working life - are they right to request this? Am I making an issue where there isn't one? I thought about creating a redacted copy to send to them, but thought I would check if anyone had any better ideas / suggestions / advice first!

Thank you all for your support.

  • Doctor-patient confidentiality is a cornerstone of medical practise. Anyone, other than the police in investigating a crime, wishing to break this confidentiality are acting very dubiously. It could easily be argued that in relation to autism, which is classed for legal purposes as a disability, such a request verges on discrimination. Personally, if asked by an employer, I would consult my union and have a union representative sit in on any meeting. I think that a copy of the diagnosis 'front page', giving essentially just your name and the diagnosis of ASD, would be all I would agree to reveal.
