Hi,

I have a chronic illness, asperger's syndrome, dyslexia and dyspraxia but I have 2 excellent degrees. This makes me an interviewing nightmare.

Any advice on how to mention my disabilities and still get a job? I notice there's no section on what to do if you have had poor health.

This was the closest thing I could find, about stress....I think you should mention little about it in an interview unless asked. If asked, be honest though. Don't let the fact that you have these issues stress you out. Instead, focus on trying to overcome them. Smile

Thank you for your reply, unfortunately if I don't mention them then they can't make special compensation for me such as allowing me to record meetings I'm in, giving advanced warning of any technical documentation they wish me to write or understanding I may need to work from home sometimes etc.
