I have a number of irrational fears that come up, so I was wonder what other people were often afraid of throughout life?
3 irrational fears, go!
1. People
2. Making/Receiving telephone calls - terrifying
3. Cucumber. Seriously!
Making phonecalls is horrible.
I had to call an ambulance once it was the hardest call I've ever had to make.
Made doubly hard because of the autism.
That sounds very hard.
I avoid using the telephone unless there is absolutely no other option.
I'm sorry about your accident but glad it helped you in a way, hope that comes out right?
Work environments can be so toxic sometimes. When I was at Morrisons it was toxic then too.
Now I'm not there I feel like I can breathe again.
Best of luck with your new job I hope it goes well and you enjoy it.
Yep, I've been at home for 6 years.
My last job was toxic, it took a serious toll on my health but I couldn't see a way out. Fortunately I was involved in an accident just before Christmas which effectively ended my employment in the end. It probably saved my life.
Now I'm about to start a new job, which I hope will be ok. Time will tell.
XD
Neither could I..
I remember thinking that very thing, in the bathrooms whilst having my two-hourly alloted panic-attack, as the lighting was timered to 5-minutes..
There's not many autism friendly jobs. Not that I've found anyway.
I think working from home would be ideal for most if possible.
Can't even imagine how hard that must have been.
I've worked as a checkout assistant at Morrisons and just making small talk with people was hard enough but doing calls all day every day...
I couldn't do that.
I bet they are.
It sounds like a difficult, stressful job. You do what you have to, I've had some terrible jobs myself.
Yeah.. I wouldn’t do anything, even 10% similar, like that again..
It’s great if you enjoy having a conversational heart-rate of 180bpm..
That’s to say that you enjoy feeling your heart-rate in your eyeballs..
Wow you should get a medal for even doing that.
Hands down I couldn't do that job I think the stress of it would cause me a heart attack.
OMG.
That's awful I'm so sorry you went through that.
I can see why people carry their phones with them all the time when out in case things like that happen but I'm like you I never take my phone anywhere with me.
