I currently work full time, and my job is stressful. I find working 5 days a week really draining, and if I ever do anything at the weekends then it has ramifications for my energy the week after; taking a long time to get back into a good routine. I love my job - I work in a museum (a special interest for me) and I have worked hard to get where I am. I can't afford to go to part-time.
I have spoken to my manager about my workload, and we have set up weekly catch up sessions so that I know what it is that I've got to do, and enable her to support me with things that I struggle with, just as telephone calls. What I don't know, however, is what the line is. By that I mean, how much help can I ask for?
Does anyone have experience of asking for accommodations at work? How much help is too much help? What kind of accommodations has anyone asked for - especially in relation to executive function, and task management?
More than anything I would just like to find other autistic people who are going through the same thing. I know that I am lucky to be able to work full time (even if I am struggling), but it would be nice to have some people to talk through it with!
Thanks,
