Hey peeps. I disclosed my autism to my direct manager, and this led to micromanagement. I'm a very autonomous person and hate being micromanaged. Do you tell your companies about your autism and neuro diversity?

I did but it wasn't on purpose. Had a mini-meltdown. He kept prying "what is wrong, can I help". I blurted it out. He's been decent. I'm very lucky.
I still wouldn't do it again though, people look at us so differently when they know.

Hi Fam!
Any suggestions on what medical insurance we can buy for parents traveling to the US? I’m looking for reasonably priced ones that offer good coverage! My mum would need a better plan than my dad, since she recently underwent surgery! Also, is insurance better from US or Indian companies? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

So many resources for children or adults who were diagnosed as children, but not newly diagnosed adults.
