Hi, I'm not on the spectrum but have worked with people who are. I personally consider it an asset but I completely understand your concerns. I don't know if you have to disclose it to a potential "normal" employer as I specifically looked for people diagnosed with ASD. But there are significant job opportunities for people on the spectrum now. Don't know if this helps at all.
- gaspoweredcat 9y agoThanks, my main concern is that im looking to take a job in support (with a view to eventually getting to 3rd line or infrastructure support) i fear they may dismiss me assuming that the social aspects will cause issues with customer support. Im willing to admit that under normal circumstances i will avoid phone calls like the plague, but i actually have a very good phone manner, just because i dont like it doesnt mean i cant be good at it however i wouldnt really blame anyone for making the assumption that it wouldnt be for me. at the moment im still planning on keeping it to myself i think, just hope i dont slip up and mention it at some point
