Crying over something small

M

I've got myself really worked up about an upcoming change to car parking at work today. It doesn't change until next week and I'm sat here crying about it. 

I spoke about it with my team and they just give me directions to the car park. Directions is just one element of it though. The complete change of where I am able to park and the unknown. I just want to park where I always park. This change is until summer next year too so not just a short term inconvenience to me, I'm going to HAVE to accept the change. 

I feel like an idiot and just wanted to share. I've sent an email to the workforce inclusion officer to see if she can help but as I said, I just feel so stupid that this is even such a big problem for me.

  • You don’t need to feel like an idiot, your feelings are very valid. Sudden changes are really scary, other people may perceive this situation as minor but don’t compare yourself to other people. Instead you  should value and recognise your needs as an autistic person. Your feelings are a result of the autistic detail focused processing style which is perfectly ok.
