  • Thank you for the b, and c. I deserved that. But it did make me laugh.

    I have just joined and not sure how to do all this tech stuff. I did write a message, then got anxious about it so went to delete it, but it wouldn't let me leave a blank box, so I left an 'a' in it. I wondered if a d would come along.

    I do have a situation that is giving be great anxiety, as you know, people with autism can catastrophise. I was diagnosed late in my life, reflecting still on trying to work out who I am, masking for years, all the struggles we go through with our mental health...... 

    Recently at work, my colleagues and boss, are giving me a hard time. My social skills, interaction, communication,  - I need support to get my point across, but they seem to not understand and say I'm rude and change my words I say. Finding it really hard. 

    Grateful of this chat place, I feel safe, knowing that we have some understanding about the way we are. I'm hoping in time, I can learn more about myself and how to get a long in life not suffering so much with anxiety.

  • That's fine, I suspected that the trying to delete but couldn't might have been what had happened, but I had an impulse and decided not to fight it,

    I'm glad it made you laugh. 

    Do your colleagues know that you are autistic? I've had issues with people misinterpreting and changing what I say from the literal meaning to whatever meaning they decide, but it is usually better when I tell people I'm autistic and mean literally what I say.

  • Hi, 

    Thank you for your kind support. My boss knew I was at the time they gave me a warning. I feel deflated and trying to appeal.
