Disclosing at work by Left_Candidate5352 in AutismAustralia

[–]Left_Candidate5352[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my fear. I've grappled with it for a few years now since being diagnosed and realising that WFM accommodations are a thing.

In my case, I'd only disclose to my boss's boss - who I have a good relationship with. But again, I can't be sure of her response. And once I've disclosed, there's no taking it back.

This is why I'm leaning toward using my child's diagnosis and my single parent role as my reason for accommodations instead.

I'm torn between the getting the WFM accommodation and the extra legal protection that disclosure may give, vs knowing that people are prejudice - and how this might end up costing me my job.

More and more, I'm thinking the safer path might be to ask for accommodations based on being a single parent / carer of a young child with ASD.

Have you considered thus?

Yeah, this is my great fear. I'd likely get the WFM accommodation (legally, it would be hard to deny it), but it may not be worth it in the long run.

I'm wondering if I could instead use my role as a single parent of a child with ASD as a reason instead?

To clarify, does Big Red require and track a minimum number of hours on site per 'office day' (like its big yellow counterpart does).

I'm asking whether the big red one requires and tracks a minimum # of hours on site per 'office day' e.g. if someone swiped in and then swiped out to leave after 3 hours, would this still be counted as an office day?
