@MrSean03839 Well, when your disability is very subtle, people immediately think of a more difficult one. It can become difficult to say you have one for fear of being thought of that way.
@@CoreyANeal2000 Corps will get rid of you for any perceived hint of not being 110% slave labor. There is no government protection anymore so of course individuals would hide disabilities if they can.
One of the most difficult things about having neurodiverse conditions is many people have high levels of coping strategies, however this can put higher than usual levels of stress and anxiety as well as requiring a greater energy cost just to fit in.
In the US workplace is so hostile that it crushes ASD people as well as alledgedly normal people. Also at 58 I started having Myasthenia gravis symptoms, didn't turn purple, did have blurred vision, crushing fatigue, difficulty getting up from squat, lifting heavy things, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, stumbling. As a nurse working in nursing, it was only the dementia patients who offered concern and support. Because this condition gets worse in stress, later in the day, in heat, with a viral illness added it was seen as slacking. So after 39 yrs I was discarded, took 5 yrs to get appropriate treatment and disability support. The last year of working was so demoralizing, even if physically could do anything in nursing consistently again, I don't want to.
I've had chronic fatigue since the age of 16, and was diagnosed in my 40s with MS. There is no more toxic existence than working in the US with invisible disabilities. There is no mercy. None. No acceptance. No allowance. No excuse. You don't get to have fatigue. Keep moving. You dont' deserve any rest, lazy POS. That's our cultural message to everyone not made for the 3 jobs/irregular sleep/slave culture we have here. I get no disability benefits, because this has dogged me my entire adult life and stole my ability to be self-supporting like everyone else. I've raised two hard working children, almost finished a bachelor's degree, ran my own business, worked my whole life, and I dont' qualify for disability, because the gradual and slow changes over a lifetime reduced my ability to earn so much I never made enough to qualify. This country just wants us to die, no matter how hard we worked to do the right thing. It's heart-breaking, how they just throw us out to the streets after using us up. It makes a person suicidal. The ultimate gaslight is, ' you don't deserve the bare minimum of resources for survival. die.'
I don't have ASD, but I do have a seizure disorder. Working 10 hour work days is rough and I often feel as if my quality of sleep is interrupted or diminished by having to work so many hours.
My Crohn's disease doesn't provide me with anything like an ability to view the world differently, it simply makes my life difficult and if I'm not careful can cause me to be hospitalized for weeks if I get a bad flare up. Despite being a senior software engineer, I never tell companies about it until after about a year or so, because I need them to see that I'm able to perform just as well if not better than other engineers. That said, recently I was pushed into a very high pressure management role a few months ago and as I started to show signs of a flare up due to intense stress, I had to step down from the role and communicate my concerns around the fact that I have this disease that doesn't allow me to be pushed so hard in the workplace. So I have to find other methods of rising through the ranks other than management, such as further specialization as an engineer, despite having the capabilities to perform well in a management role. Sometimes you just can't do certain things, and it is good to tell a company about your chronic diseases (I don't think Crohn's is regarded as a disability for God knows what reason) because it allows them to manage that expectation correctly, but I will continue to wait a year before telling a company about it because I have to show that I can perform in my expected job role. Not even some healthy people can be pushed hard like that and can burn out, but I think the consequences in my case can be fatal. So there is a difference, and we have to take responsibility to manage that and how we address our circumstances correctly. Healthy people don't have a single clue what it's like.
Yeah sure give businesses even more info about us and another reason to choose not to hire us or justify the selection of another person. Maybe even to use this to try and not hire other people and claim they are supportive of those with disabilities by only hiring those with minor ones to fill the mandatory hiring
@@leeroy695 you can say that but if they are pressing it now, this can turn into something you have to answer and can be counted as lying on your resume and thus grounds for termination
"7% of leaders atop of business have an undisclosed disability" this is virtually nothing compared to the 1/3 of workers who have them. Shows how ableist the system is!!
I've got autism, but I tend to not apply for jobs or better quality jobs they will discriminate against my disability (Autism) and may not accommodate that at all. So yeah erm...I'm glad I'm self employed (I don't have to answer any boss at all) I'm my own boss, work whenever I want, go on holidays whenever I want too etc. So I'm going to stick to that.
I've been fired countless times for being "too slow, and can't keep up". I've had to live with my parents most of my life, and am now in my 50's. My parents are from the Baby Boomer generation, and have done well, but now my mother is in a nursing home, and has LOST EVERYTHING, and my father is not far behind her! Then we (both) lose everything. When employees are not allowed to make a living, then whatever happens to the family/parents will happen to THEM. And at some point, even the Law itself (Elder Law) will contribute to it. Something needs to CHANGE!!
It should be absolutely normal for people with any disability to work, if the work environment can adapt to their needs in a way that the disability doesn’t affect the results. Which is often very achievable: like don’t invite autistic people to meetings, if they’re not comfortable, just send an email.
It strikes me that we all have abilities and weaknesses. We stream people who are numerate into engineering and accounting. Some like coding so we make them programmers. But if you can't use a spreadsheet, we don't say that they are useless; we find roles that match the person's strengths. And increasingly technology is bridging the gaps. We should aim to be increasingly flexible and agile; not demanding unnecessary rigidity solely for our ease when it harms the productivity of others and the wider organisation.
I think.we should be able to distingish between disability and different. A dis-ability dia-ables doing certain tasks and I do not see the context here. For me, defining a fast pace social media worker as being dis-abled is not right. We don't need to hide behind diagnostic to enforce the fact that as humans we are different. As long as one can cater for her/himself the word disability doesn't fit. Not being in line with the norm - if this with such concept still fits, would be rather correct. By the way, I have legasthenie paired with autism.
In America, if you even mention you have a type of disability, they immediately put you at the bottom of the hiring list or they just deny you altogether.
I think.we should keep it real. Social is a fast pace workplace, which doesn't make sense with difficulties reading and concluding. I don't want to belittle anything but the point is working possible. Richard Branson outed himself having dyslexia.
We need to start changing the narratives first with IGOs and local levels and shift the "burden or cost risk" to inclusion and stop perpetuating the false narratives about disabled persons cost more or are risk to hire. In some cases in certain countries this language is used as justification within the law themselves. There is so much data from ILO and others that disprove this and restrictive access to: health insurance (hmmm.. richer countries) social protections, labour market access, hiring practices and even access to social rights (i.e. access to citizenship, family reunion) etc. Ableism is still around and it seems that many governments did not learn the lessons from the pandemic that exclusion costs more in the long run than inclusion. Under the CPRD and those who have ratified are obliged by law to adhere to Art. 2 of Reasonable Accommodation very little has been done to monitor and ensure nation states adhere to these regulations. Sorry for the long message, just finished my PhD on this topic and glad @DWNews is highlighting this topic.
Luxurious!!!... While Guptas like me have to all to work extra hard and deliver or the " Ausländerbehörde" and it's highly "qualified public servants" would deny our visa....
Some people don't tell others they have a disability because they feel they'll get treated differently if they do.
More likely the corporation will get rid of them.

Don't tell them until you're hired Or get the job through a disability support agency.

Is low I.Q. a workplace disability?
ibs too....
Luxurious!!!... While Guptas like me have to all to work extra hard and deliver or the " Ausländerbehörde" and it's highly "qualified public servants" would deny our visa....
My disability is that I always give 110% and I always succeed no matter what 🚀
You are obviously delusional, because there is absolutely no such thing as "110%". 🤪
You mean schizoid PD
Sorry but dyslexia doesn’t interrupt your daily living or interactions with others
I gotta disagree. It absolutely does be it in social situation’s or in the workplace
Whkd u do men u?
Nonsense
If your disability impairs your job, you should look for another job that suits you.
