A little "dream" I have
I am having a "dream" currently (really inbetween that of a dream and a serious consideration) about moving to Los Angeles. One of my minor goals is to make it in the big time (Read: Work my way up to fame and fortune), not that I expect it to happen. In fact, you don't have to recite the "1 in a million" statistics for me, but if you look at many people through history, they certainly did overcome great odds. And I am also an optimist in a way, telling myself that maybe one day I will get to be famous. I have been researching everything for a couple months now, maybe a little more.
My major two concerns are, if this does happen to me, should I reveal my Asperger's to the public? I can't drive either, or at least I haven't found out yet. I don't know if I can take driving. If I do reveal my AS and the fact that I can't drive to the public, would that ruin my rep and my career.
PS AS doesn't affect my ability to drive much...I just have another rare genetic disorder too. Thankfully, at least for me, it doesn't include any physical defects that would interfere with my career.
Good luck with your dream.
As for your question, I don't see how this would damage your reputation. You may want to look at examples of famous people who have made similar revelations about their lives. They would have no problems finding more work as they have already proven their competence in their field of work.
