New Employer - best way to disclose ASD diagnosis

AspieJimmy

I posted before regarding a similar issue. I unfortunately got fired from my last job due to some communication difficulties. This employer did not know I had ASD.

I have just landed a new job that's very similar to my old one. I am wondering the best way to disclose my diagnosis to my employer and when to do it. This is so my new employer understands what I don't find easy. I think its safer to be honest about it all than hide it in case I make similar errors in my last job.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

  • Little social model adjustments make it more congenial for you, but will it guarantee continuous employment?

    For anyone with more marked difficulties the reality is few job chances and frequently losing jobs or having to give up jobs.

    I do reiterate, even if you don't understand what I'm trying so say - that we do need to better understand the barriers to employment faced by people on the spectrum. Otherwise we stay at only 15% with long term prospects.

    Or we wait until a more compasssionate government allows many to rely on benefits. This Government is in for another four years and intends to force people with autism to try to work.

    Do we address the issues or "rollover" and let everyone suffer?
