Late-diagnosed autistic person working in a professional-level job in healthcare.https://bsky.app/profile/autisticatwork.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/autisticatwork.bsky.social/post/3m2udlixx3c2fInterview feedback included like "perfect" and "impressed with my skills & experience". But the job went to the candidate who "performed better at interview". That's why #autistic people find it hard to get a job. It doesn't matter how qualified or skilled we are: we're not neurotypical enough. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-buckland-review-of-autism-employment-report-and-recommendations/the-buckland-review-of-autism-employment-report-and-recommendations10 Oct 2025 18:50 +0000at://did:plc:dpuxgd3akkv7mljc3dhipla5/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2udlixx3c2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/autisticatwork.bsky.social/post/3lpoynawcjk2wThis is interesting. Preference for "autistic" over "person with #autism" (which positions autism as separate from the person), is not new. However, interesting to note that "disability" is liked by autistic people. Possibly because they don't see disability as a morally bad thing, just as a thing.

It's not, "Well, I've been really busy and...." If I'm asking, I want to know YES or NO. You don't have to justify it. Just answer! #ActuallyAutistic #Autism [contains quote post or other embedded content]20 May 2025 08:14 +0000at://did:plc:dpuxgd3akkv7mljc3dhipla5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lplnesxxwk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/autisticatwork.bsky.social/post/3lpkcb4j5pk2fI disclosed my #autism diagnosis to my manager pretty much immediately. But since the reason for the diagnosis was to stop me being "managed out" by switching me to a role I wouldn't have been able to cope with, that's not surprising.
