Struggling with Autism Related Anxiety in Work

Alternative advice

avoid solicitors, they are expensive and may solve next to nothing. YOU HAVE A JOB ! well done ! enjoy that as much as possible. use it as your launch position.

Temple Grandin in her book states on her section about employment "You cant use Autism as an excuse " she stated (para-phasing )" your boss is your boss, u have to do what u are told, they want sometimes, that why they are the boss "  This woke me up a bit and makes me reflect on how lucky I am to have a job. No my job isnt perfect things irritate me all the time. 

Withdraw from your fight. Sit in your work get good experience, pack out your CV then secretedly look for a new job or a sideways move within your employer. It appears, You, like me, created more and more stress for yourself. I have left many jobs only to regret my foolish thought processes/decisions.

I am withdrawing from all my fights and struggles ( mainly due to reading Zen, Tao, meditation, "The Art of doing Nothing").

I had one of my adjustments refused, but one accepted.

The answer to your anxiety is to stop listening to the internal dialogue  of thoughts ) in your head telling you to do this, to do that, people are talking about me, why is he staring at me etc etc. ( very very difficult to do ). Dont do "grasshopper" thinkin I was prone to that as well.  mindfulness meditation attacks/weakens these thought process.

I have reduced my anxiety and am now mentally stronger than ever. So can you.

plan B

read up on mindfulness ( how to do it daily in work, and formal mindfulness meditation - tip: everyday without fail). Teach your co workers when you get good at it.

watch youtube videos on formal mindfulness meditation ( guided ) and do it

It takes weeks, months, for mindfulness to work, but it does work. 2 Years later I am getting very good at meditation.

I, for example do a meditation ( eyes open ) at lunch time right in the middle of my office ( 10 minutes ). sometimes I do it twice. Last week i did it at the dentist with great results.

You are not alone - there are thousands of autistics working away struggling to survive,,,  you have to succeed to prove we Auties can do it, that is your mission !

maybe this isnt what you want to hear, please forgive me.

yes they should give u your adjustments but sometimes they dont ( i am learning to accept things i dont like -very hard ( Acceptance) )

but I do thank Temple Grandin. she presents a very different view from everyone else which is inspiring.

feel free to ignore or reject  everything I have said :)

You doing great  build on it 

I genuinely wish you all the best
