Hi,
I am a aspie.
I was recently asked asked to attend investigation interviews, two formal grievances had been written against me, based on meltdowns at work.
I knew questions would be tough, so I asked for reasonable adjustments to be made for support at meetings based that I might have a meltdown due to the type of questions.
I was told, it was my responsibility to provide those adjustments and not the company.
I was offered standard witness protection or a union representative. (I am not part of union, so irrelevant.)
Under Equality act I thought Autism was protected and employers had a duty.
Any thoughts would be kind.
have a look at Access to Work website - https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work
or walk into ur local benefit centre and ask there
