I had to take time off sick with anxiety and depression at my last job, and Human Resources came at me and at me to get permission to read my medical notes. At that time I didn't know I was schizoaffective, but I did know that I had High Functioning Autism on my records, and a history of depression and suicide attempts. Obviously I told HR to mind their own business... and they responded as though I was trying to pull a fast one on them. "Anyone else would give us permission to see their medical records, why won't you?" I knew that they would use it as an excuse to fire me, and I think their behaviour was illegal... I have no idea if I'll ever be able to get another job, if they ask on the disclosure form "do you have any serious illness that could affect your work performance, which is something I've seen on every job I've applied for in the last ten years.
