Hi all,
I was diagnosed almost a year ago at 28 years old! I have always struggled in life but never knew why. Since being diagnosed I changed jobs and let my manager and colleagues know that I am autistic and have ADHD as well as mental health issues derived of these + 28 years of being misdiagnosed as anxiety.
Today I had an argument with my manager. They are very difficult to work with (many people agree with me!) and they want things done a certain way. Today they accused me of not doing something just because I did it in a way that worked for me but not for them. The task was done and when I tried to explain this they refused to listen which lead to me starting to raise my voice a bit and my manager calling me pedantic and saying that as I am in working hours and they are my manager I have to do as they ask. I found this extremely unprofessional and rude (also my manager was the pedantic one not me!) I said I didn't understood their comment or why I was supposedly being pedantic and they ignored my question. I am very offended and led to me having a meltdown. I don't know if I'm overreacting as sometimes things that should offend me don't provoke any reactions and things that are meant to be a joke offend me deeply. What does everyone think? Thanks!
