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?

It sounds like I wrote it! Lol. Fatal error. Never again will I disclose my autism. Never.

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 all, asking on behalf of my SO. He’s currently in a backend engineer security role and wants to move into an infra related one. He’s in talks with his manager about moving internally in his current company but that is still in discussion. He just got an offer from another company for an infra role but they need an answer in the next week. How do you guys suggest he push for a decision from his manager about the internal move. Should he tell his manager he has another offer?
