I want to understand about autistic adults difficulties which they face in workplace.

I've been having problems at work since a change of management. To start with, the team I worked with has been cut down to just me, while retaining the vast majority of the workload.

I also have to appease managers who are based in a head office in another city, while also meeting the needs of my colleagues in the site where I work on a day-to-day basis.

My communication skills have been cited as where I fall short; skills a person on the autistic spectrum disorder such as myself typically has difficulty with, especially when they feel uncomfortable.

On top of this, my coping mechanisms have been deemed "inappropriate" by the branch manager, who has banned me from meeting with the people I trust, who for just 15 minutes a day, could encourage me to give my all to my work. Without them, I'm a crying, screaming mess in a store cupboard who has to come out only when required and put on a brave face so as not to upset people.

Due to my increasing failure to meet standards, I have been put on a capability review and I face losing my job.

Hmmm I would like to know how the branch manager has come to the conclusion that your coping strategies are inappropriate.  That would surely require an understanding of your struggles and what it would mean to remove them or replace them with alternative strategies - something they clearly haven't done.

Sorry to hear you've been treated badly by incompetent management. Your 'coping mechanisms' sound reasonable and positive for the organisation. Are you a member of a union? Have you considered putting in your own grievance - presumably you could city Equality Act provisions, and suggest a way forward suitable for you.

You are not alone.

I also struggle in the workplace.

Noises and forced to be around people affect me negatively.
