Autism in the Workplace

[vergil96]

But then again I'm still not certain how much other people would care about my diagnosis, maybe they won't care as much as I think they will, but because I've always had a chip on my shoulder about having ASD

Yeah, maybe they wouldn't care. Very likely they wouldn't.

I still wouldn't like to be the subject of gossip in this way. I have not been in this job for long, and I have already heard plenty of gossip. I have heard gossip that one person is autistic, even though we likely all are. But he's the autistic one, because he can be rude (and he clearly doesn't mean it). I'd rather people gossip that I drive an old car or that I am a weeb.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.
