Sharing ASD diagnosis with your employer

I had my ASD diagnosis on 17/4/25 and im wondering weather to share it with my employer. My employer and most of the people i work with are supportive so it's making me think I should share 

Has anyone shared your ASD diagnosis with your employer, if so what were your experiences.

  • Hey! I had mine on the 22nd April and I am wondering the same thing at the moment. I work in quite a busy place so for me because I struggle a lot with noise sensitivity would really like to wear earplugs. Most people I work with are already supportive of another autistic member of staff so I am thinking maybe I will tell others I am. I think it’s a personal choice but I have been a bit stuck with this as well and what to actually ask for as adjustments!
