Workplace adjustments

Skye_115

Hi all! 

Just wanted to check something before making any workplace adjustments. I think I do know the answer but I’m struggling to find confirmation on this. Am I right in saying that any disclosure or workplace adjustments you need in a current workplace can’t be disclosed in a reference or anything in the future? I need some adjustments where I am currently working and I don’t care too much about any possible negative impacts because I know the workplace and am also not planning on a long career here. In the future I am hoping to find a job more suitable so might not want to disclose I am autistic especially not prior to getting a job through a reference from an old workplace. Just checking if I’m right on this!

Thanks!

  • I am late diagnosed and have been told off for being aggressive and coming over as abrupt.    I challenge anyone to work with my manager and not get annoyed.    I am now on a PIP and on a  Stage One.    My organisation has a list of values we are expected to adhere to 100% of the time.   I have argued that it is hard for ASD and ADHD people to be perfect and what is the difference between being abrupt and aggressive?   I can be a bit abrupt but when does it become aggressive.  There is a fine line.   My main problem is frustration due to lack of progress.    I have been at this organisation for eight years and have not had a promotion despite being well qualified and capable.    I probably was a bit over the top and did send a teams message I should not have however I have seen people get promotions and I know I could do a far better job than they do and have seen the evidence.      I think coming over as abrupt should be in a workplace adjustment passport but my manager disagrees.   If I cut her she would probably bleed the stupid values which I think are discriminatory to neuro diverse people as they are open to interpretation.     I think it is discrimination.   I have spent tonight calling her lots of rude words and crying down the phone to our workplace help line.     I am so ashamed of not getting a promotion after about 30 interviews.    That is discriminatory too.  Think I posted this in the wrong place.   To answer they cant say much in references now only say you worked there between x and y.

    I’m really sorry to hear this, that’s a horrible experience. I’m quite new to here but already come across so much on here and online about experiences of autistic people in the workplace and there’s a lot of negative stories. I really hope your work situation improves for you
