Tally Report post Posted November 29, 2010 I have just found a PDF that is interesting reading for anyone who is looking for work and considering whether to disclose their disability at application. http://www.disabilitytoolkits.ac.uk/students/DisclosingDisability.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aeolienne Report post Posted April 9, 2011 I declared my Asperger's at the last job interview I had. The good news is that I was offered the job. The bad news is that I was fired after five months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm2010 Report post Posted April 12, 2011 Not a chance I would ever disclose. The fact is most interviewers have never employed a disabled person. And most never will. Rightly or wrongly, it generally reduces the chances of getting a job. Besides, why should I disclose something that in my line of work is on balance helpful in doing a job that is both tedious and highly skilled at the same time. Interviewers won't appreciate this though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
