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 find I don’t do very well with Teams meetings if my webcam has to be on, as I find I get preoccupied with how I appear on camera as opposed to paying attention to the meeting content. Fortunately I’m in a team where we can have cameras off if we prefer.

    Given the importance of the meeting, I would push for face to face. Have you had a formal diagnosis? If so you should be able to use your assessment letter to request this as a reasonable adjustment.
