Hi all.
I currently have a case open with ACAS against my employer for discrimination (not related to autism or disability). There is of course a possibility that my employer will not resolve this and it may therefore go to tribunal.
I do not have diagnosed autism. However, I am on the waiting list for an assessment. I find it extremely difficult to listen to people talking/asking questions, process what they’ve said and answer them in that precise moment. This will obviously be problematic should I need to go to tribunal where my employer and his lawyer will be asking me questions.
My question to you - despite not having a diagnosis, will I be able to ask for reasonable adjustments to be made on the basis that I am awaiting diagnosis? If so, would it be reasonable to ask for a list of their questions beforehand?
It may not go to tribunal but I cannot stop obsessing over this fact and therefore need it answering please if you can.
My employer is not aware that I am awaiting an autism diagnosis.
Thank you. You are all so very knowledgable and helpful so I hope you are able to help me.
