Reasonable adjustments at work

Magnolia1

I am a primary school music teacher. I have just been diagnosed and have a meeting with my head this afternoon about putting strategies in place to help me.

What reasonable adjustments can I ask for ?

I feel really anxious about it as I have been doing this job for ten years (they know I have struggled) but now there is a legal reason they have to help me but I just don't know what I can ask for. 

Any ideas welcome !

    Hi Raindrops, that's a good start.

    I can try to help you unpack that a little bit if you like - which might help you put your finger on something that would help?

    As your meeting is this afternoon, it's probably worth thinking over that you don't have to get everything 100% clear today; starting the conversation and explaining where you are at will be a great step forwards. Tell the story of how you experience autism and let the conversation evolve - which it will over coming months. It is a journey (and a freeing one as you get to know yourself even better).

    I know that is difficult if you don't like feeling out of control - same here (I want everything decided *now* -:) ).
