Getting work to understand that I’m Autistic

Hi, 

I work for a charity and have been diagnosed as Autistic. I have also been diagnosed with ADHD and Anxiety disorder. I planned an overdose and commenced taking it as late as 6 weeks ago. 

Lockdown has been hell. Rushed away from work with no notice, working from home and struggling horrendously with the news and trying to get my routines back together. 

Now, on an enforced weeks leave they’ve made big changes to my job going forward. More work but no more money, more training, no consultation, no notice - nothing. 

I am so disillusioned with it it all. If I could find another more suitable job I would leave but you know how hard that is. I feel like it’s a constant struggle for them to understand I cope very badly with change and with change that’s sprung on me. I work so hard for them, even logging in at weekends to do emails just to keep up with things. 

I really thought they understood but now it seems as either they don’t care or simply can’t be bothered to do anything different for me. It’s driving me to the edge and I don’t know what to do. 

Thoughts?. 

ps. Sorry if it’s depressing.

  • sounds like you're a very good worker -- stop and think about that for a moment.

    now is not the time for rashness, but a steady calm approach.

    Do everything your employer asks of you. What else can u do ?

    I read somewhere u always have a choice if u work somewhere u hate to work

    either

    do you work and be unhappy

    or 

    do your work and be happy

    in short dont let things grind you down
