Advice?

BarryG123

Hi all, I am yet to be diagnosed but have recently found a job that I want to apply for but I am unsure if I should put that I am in the process of being diagnosed or just simply not mention it at all?

Thanks.

    A local council is more likely to be positive about this than a commercial firm. They are more enthusiastic about employing people with disabilities (autism counts as such if you have a full diagnosis) than businesses. They also pay less though but it is likely to be a more tolerant environment.

    Gramit's comments are absolutely right about the legal position - in reality firms do discriminate and it is almost impossible to prove in most cases.
