I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was six years old. I didn't have too many problems in school and had minimal accommodation. Then I got into the working world. At my first job I didn't tell people I had AS because I made the wrong assumption that people were more tolerant. My former employer was told by a famy member I had it and at first I though she was fine with it as she listed positives. Big mistake, she bullied me and never went out of the way to make me feel stupid. I don't think it was because she knew but that does not excuse her behavior in my book. She even asked if I had a learning disability and snapped at me for being too sensitive when I cried as she chewed me out in front of others. I hate screwing up as it is and she even demanded I look her in the eye when I had a meltdown in her office. She sacked me for screwing up and I disclosed at my next job. I don't think they quite get it either. Stuff gets changed often without prior notice (I know this happens but it's constant), people try to be social and then I get admonished for being "antisocial" when I'm not very comfortable around very friendly people to begin with. I didn't say anything bad but they said I was "difficult to talk to". I just like keeping quiet. So long story short, I've applied for a new job and I haven't told the supervisor about it yet. Because of the disaster of my first job I have to and I don't know if I feel like it's a good time to let the new person know or not
I had two interviews and we don't know if I got it or not. I'm just afraid they will think I'm stupid or think I'm making it up. I'm just not sure what ir how to tell if I get this job because I can get by without accommodation and usually it doesn't cause problems unless I'm having a bad day. Any advice would be great
