Employer tribunal

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.

  • There is actually a free helpline you can call about work and legal issues.... I was given the number a while ago and wrote it down somewhere (and haven't found it again yet)- I will try and find it when I have a bit more time, or maybe if you google you can also find it... I rang them and they were helpful. It is confidential.
