Hello everyone,
I am a 23 year old from the South that is strongly considering going into bus driving as a career. My grandfather was a bus driver for years up and down the country and he always recommended it and the pay is pretty decent in my city (£15p/h). Certainly not many jobs I could do that would let me earn that at this point in my life. More importantly I think I'd enjoy the job, at the moment I have been changing job every 6-9 months and I am looking for something stable that I find bearable.
Anyway, on to my main reason for the post. I am autistic. Its never been something that's affected me when driving so I know I don't have to declare it to the DVLA and I think this is the case when it comes to the PCV/HGV licences too right? I know it will probably be all okay but I still overthink and worry, especially because I really want to do this career. Is it something I should mention to the company at interview and to the person doing my medical? I know they can't discriminate against me but I am stll worried that they would just convientaly find another reason not to hire me which has sadly happened before when declaring my autism.
Are there any other PCV drivers here with autism? How do you find doing this job with autism?
