I tried to keep it short... but failed

I initially went on stress leave, which lasted several months.  The personnel department rang me and were really nasty and despite the state I was in (shaking with stress) they forced me to go in to see them for a meeting.  I took a union rep with me (I wasn't a member but they were still helpful) and I barely said anything at the meeting.  I sat there holding a paper cup of water which was trembling.  After that they said they could see I was in a state, but despite me having put a lot of things in writing, they clearly thought I was pulling a fast one (or wanted to try to make it look that way).

My boss had sabotaged my work (it was work only he and I had access to and I worked part-time so he had plenty of opportunity), refused to let me do flexi-time despite it being allowed by the organisation, and then called meetings deliberately when he knew I wouldn't be in yet.  There were snide comments made in my presence, they took me on knowing I could only work part-time and this was the contract and what the job had been advertised at and then pressured me to go full-time.  I had a total character assassination face-to-face from my boss, and when his boss had come in drunk and verbally slated me I had gone upset to someone else higher up, who squeezed out of me what was wrong and then at a subsequent meeting had lied and denied that I'd reported his drunkenness and basically pretended they knew nothing about it.  I couldn't believe it.

They were all as crooked as anything, syphoning money off to buy personal things etc. and because I was honest (as most Aspies are) I think I didn't fit in and they probably felt I was a threat to what they were doing and wanted me out.  I also think someone else that would play their games wanted my job, and there was someone who pretended to be my friend (which at the time I believed) to stir things up.

I decided to hand in my notice in the end because I could see no way back.  It was a small department and it would have been difficult to redeploy me.

Back to you, can you not get a free half hour legal advice from a solicitor?  They usually offer stuff like that.  You can also probably get initial online consultations.
