Hi
@Highway Cowboy
Thanks for the positive feedback. I took a look at the thread you posted a little while back about your possible disclosure. It's never an easy question to answer and it's going to have to be one you judge for yourself based on how well you know your bosses and colleagues. Not always an easy task for someone on the spectrum.
Has anybody else you have worked with raised any issues relating to health, disability, mental illness or similar and how were they treated? Do they have a clear, easily accessible equality policy? Is your workplace/base the sort where there is lots of "banter" at each other's expense? Have they a good track record on confidentiality? Are you a member of a trade union?
I believe in the
principle of disclosure because it's morally wrong that we should have to hide our differences, but it can backfire on you if you misjudge it. If in doubt, don't shout!
The biggest question I always think is - if it all goes south, how easy would it be for you to start again with a new company?
