Diagnosis disadvantages

NAS86472

Hi,

Can anyone point me towards any full, honest, up to date lists or discussions of the disadvantages of an autism diagnosis? Eg I've just discovered some countries don't let you emigrate to them (including the UK), and in some cases you must disclose your diagnosis to the DVLA. 

Many thanks!

  • What?!! Where did you find the UK won't accept immigrants with autism? I am not sure if this is true, and if it is I am hugely offended yet again by my country! As a physically disabled person I already feel like an inconvenience begrudgingly allowed to exist, but now they have another reason to want rid of me!

    And I didn't think it had to be disclosed to the DVLA either? It seems mad as a person is not any different with or without an actual diagnosis.

    I would share your surprise if the OP's stated understanding is correct - although weird nonsense rules seem to ever proliferate....so I'll be interested to hear.  I suspect Peter will know.
