Health issues fully explained to my manager

She had read the occy health report, and knew I had Schizophrenia and Autism

I was able to have the conversation, and I asked at the end if she was happy that I’d brought it up and the answer was yes.

She had worked with a person with Autism before, and they were doing the job I do, and she said he was very good

And… a relative of hers has SZ! So she knows more than most.

Explained I find it hard to disclose, as when I got dx’d with it, I told people and they ghosted me

That’s really great and more than you can expect.

I’m really happy your job is going well.

I think you give schizophrenics hope for meaningful employment.
