Online work meeting difficulties - is it just me?

Just some guy you know

I sometimes struggle to "read the room" in online meetings and can find it difficult or draining to interpret those less explicit communication signals.

Is this just me, or is this a well documented issues for people with an ASC?

I have a very important meeting at work - that may result in me losing my job - which has been moved online, but which I would prefer to be face to face (f2f). Any evidence that this is disadvantageous for me would be very gratefully received and help me push to have the meeting f2f.

I have tried searching online for information on this topic but the results are hard to interpret as I want info on "online meetings and ASC" rather than an "online meeting" to talk about ASC.

Thanks - in advance - for any help with this.

  • I have meeting scheduled with Occupational Health at my employer. Originally, they wanted to do it on the phone, but I stood my ground and told them I struggle to communicate my feelings over the phone and that I need f2f. This was before I was told I may have autism funnily enough. Perhaps you could try something like that and mention you are waiting for an assessment. Hopefully, that will be enough.
