Autism at work

HappilyUnhappy

Hi all,

I’ve just been diagnosed with autism, and it makes so much sense with all I’ve been through over the years, I’m 41!

however, I’m rostered on a training course next week at a place I’ve never been too before and involves a taxi which I’ve already raised as a concern at work. Does anybody know if I can request for the training to take place at a depot I’m familiar with as a reasonable adjustment. I’m struggling to cope with the thought of this new training as it is, even more so as it’s at this place I’ve never been before, and hear stories that the taxis get lost on route trying to find it.

thanks for your time

  • Hopefully you can get the location changed to one you are familiar with.

    If that isn't possible try researching the location yourself online, using google street view. I do that a lot if I have to visit anywhere new. You can also use 'what three words' to pinpoint an exact location.

    I suspect taxi drivers getting 'lost' is more to do with them trying to drive up the fare. I hate using taxis for this reason.
