'Closeted' Aspies?

StephenHarris

Is anyone here a 'closet' ASD sufferer? That is diagnosed but not 'out' about it - only close family members and medical professionals know you're on the spectrum.

I have to consider myself one; worried what employers will think if I tell them.

    A card? I haven't got a card. I know you can buy some though. 

    You may be able to get a free autism alert card from your local autism society. When I got mine all I had to do was send in my diagnosis letter. I don't usually use mine though, as I don't often see people. I guess it's more for an emergency if you can't speak, your autism is questioned or you feel more comfortable with others knowing. 

    NAS apparently also do an autism alert card package for £2.50. But I don't have that.
