I actually FINALLY have a job!

Pants

After many years of being told I cannot work, even missing out on the opportunity at 16 to do work experience, I actually have a job. Admittly, it may not be the most glamorous, or well paying job, but it is a job. Saturday's 10pm-3am at a nightclub. Not bad if you ask me, considering I have sleeping diffculties, should be a breeze. One issue. Should I, or should I not tell them I have high functioning autism?

  • Congratulations! I disagree about disclosure, however.

    You got the job on your own merit, and obviously proved to them at the interview that you have the skills and personality for the job.

    Unless you have issues at a later date, or they specifically ask, I would not tell them anything. I certainly would not say anything about being overwhelmed by loud noises or needing time out, as dealing with that is probably part of the job (unless it is a very quiet club!)
