Informal Supportive Action Plan

Golf23

At work I have felt that I have been doing everything well and I thought that there was no issue with the way I have been doing things.

However, today I have been given an 'informal' supportive action plan, thankfully it's not a disciplinary process, but I was taken back by it and feel that my supervisor has no idea how to deal with a person with Autism.

I have a Workplace Needs Assessment meeting in a couple of weeks but they are putting me on this 3 month plan as of next Monday.

I tried to argue it, but this is happening anyway.

I really like my job, I really thought I was doing well, but it appears that I am not.

From the way they are speaking and what they are asking they have no idea about Autism, and I am not sure they are willing to learn about it or try to understand what makes me different.

I have recently moved teams from another area within the same organisation and nothing was flagged up there in the 18 months I worked there and I have not changed how I operate.

I don't want to lose my job.

Can anyone help me?

  • I wanted to update this to say;

    I have come off the action plan now after 3 months, I got a lot of support from the Workplace Needs team and the Rep, my supervisor has also been given an educational experience to assist them with understanding Neurodiversity so I think that I am in a much better place at work. 

    I want to thank you for your help it helped to get my mind in a better place and to get the assistance I needed to see me through it.

    I am happy that things have worked out well for you. It shows that the system can work for us but not everyone is lucky.
