My son has his autism assessment next week, but is reluctant as feels it may hold him back with employment

My son who is already physically disabled, feels any positive diagnosis would not only give him another label but would hold him back from future employment opportunities, once he has finished his education.He has waited 4 years for the assessment.

I totally understand why he feels this way but am unsure how to advise him.

Has anyone had experience of a positive diagnosis affecting young people with employment into any industries?
