I'm struggling at work more than anything. My mental state is not good but I am great at masking, have done it for a long time. The problem at work is communication. They seem determined to misinterpret everything I say. They keep telling me to 'communicate'. I'm not a communicator, never have been because it goes wrong too often. But this new team I am in are at it all the time, pecking my head, communicate, communicate. But when I do say something it's taken the wrong way, made into an insult or a negative comment. We work in a specialist provision for children with autism, they profess to know so much, but they know nothing about adult Autism. It's really getting me down, I am scared to open my mouth.
Any advice?
