    Kitty, are the employers aware of your autism? If not, you may want to remove company names from your posts.

    I don't know if it is the done thing to ask, but is your autism actually Aspergers or a different type? (I got a bit muddled as I thought Aspergers wasn't used any more but it does still seem to be in some recent research I was looking at).

    My old employer knew, and it was never an issue...I have yet to discuss it with M&S. Do you think it will cause problems? I am quite an achiever at work...it has never affected my job. I have removed my location from my posts though, thanks for telling me :)

    Oh and high functioning autism...I can function pretty well but under personal stress I struggle. It is interesting, I am good in formal situations...but informal (parties, social events, meeting new people outside of work etc) I fall apart!! :) I also have certain obsessions with things, certain OCD traits and love a lot of childish things!! But that is me :)

    Greetings from hot and sticky Italy!

    The hotel wifi is very slow and erratic, and posting stuff is very hit and miss, so don't worry if I don't post much.



    Welcome, Kitty of the triple seven variety! :D





    I'm falling asleep, the journey was a very long one and now I can't keep my eyes open!

    I am interested in how people disclose to employers etc. I have been advised against it: why make life difficult for yourself? is the comment I normally get.

    Pyxis, you're in Italy?! I must have missed that? Have a lovely time! :)

    Elsien, sounds like you're having a having a good time :) Thanks for the cake and wine! :D

    Talking of holidays, I'm busy doing research for new things to do and new places to visit. Even though we've been 5 times before, there's always something new popping up there!
