Thank you for sharing your concerns, and I want you to know that I hear you.
I understand that discovering more about your superior’s personal experiences and disclosure of being an adult with autism can evoke a range of emotions. It’s entirely normal to have reservations about sharing your own label, especially if you don’t feel comfortable disclosing it. The decision to reveal personal information about oneself is deeply personal and should be based on your own comfort level and boundaries.
It’s important that you only share what you feel is right for you. If you find yourself uncertain about disclosing such information, it might be helpful to assess the potential benefits and drawbacks. Remember that your feelings and choices are valid, and it’s perfectly acceptable to maintain your privacy if that’s what feels right for you.
If you’d like to discuss this further or explore strategies for handling workplace dynamics, I’m here to support you. Let me know what your thoughts are and if you have any more questions? I’ll be here to help.
