coworkers knowing about it

Post Reply New Topic

I confided in a coworker that worked with special Ed students about my upcoming assessment... So basically she tells everyone else... What do I do if they treat me different?

Punch them. Just kidding

I'd be surprised if they treated you differently based on your evaluation, but if they do, just explain that you're the same person you've always been, and that officially documenting your disability doesn't make you any different than you were before. If they were less understanding of your needs previously, you may find their change in behaviour beneficial, though you may have to point out that help is appreciated, the accompanying patronising is not. Good luck, let us know how it goes!

it depends what they do
but if your diagnosed you get some protection under Americans with disability act
