Help for partner

Hello, I've written on here a few times so apologies if repeating but I feel really lost with how to help and my partner is not keen to come on here. My partner is awaiting an autism diagnosis.

My partner was let go from his job in retail a few days ago, he had supervision last week which he said was very negative and that they're extending his probation to mid December. My partner had asked for more training but had not seen the date of this in the feedback email after the meeting as he was so upset. After not turning up to his training, he then got an email saying his employment has ended. It also said he was also blaming other people when he was told rubbish had been left around (not true) and he needed to mend his relationship with people! He never did anything wrong but he was told he didn't want a customer facing role which they made him do in the end.

Anyway, sorry for the rant but he came home suicidal. He works so hard and has tried at many jobs, factories, retail but he said he cannot do it anymore and no one is ever happy with him. He goes to seetec but they just tell him about jobs working with other people so he's at a loss; he just wants a job working alone.

Someone kindly mentioned before regarding data analysis and he's doing a short course regarding this and he's also trying to get into data annotation but has anyone else got any other ideas? He's mid 30s and happy to do anything in which he can work remotely with limited interaction with others. 

I'm trying my best to help him but it is affecting my mental health, particularly his meltdowns. Is there any medication to help with this does anyone know? He's on propranolol but it seems to be making him worse.

  • Speaking to his GP would probably be my first course of action, if his current medication doesn't seem to be offering much relief.

    I used the "right to choose" to get my assessment as the NHS waiting list is excessive and disheartening.

    There are groups and organisations that offer support and guidance but unfortunately some require proof of diagnosis.

    Good luck to you both.
