How do I help a work colleague - if I even can?

Hi. The first thing to say is ... I am not 'out' as autistic, at work.

A colleague at work has just had his job replaced by AI and is now on a 1 month trial in a new role. He is also not 'out'. But everyone can see that he is autistic. (They probably think the same thing about me, but may still think I am just rude.) He also does not know that I am also autistic.

He has 1 month to show that he can manage this new role and I fear that the odds are stacked against him. The organisation is not really very tolerant.

He is like me. And shows all the problems of executive function issues. He had his first day of learning the new job yesterday and I could see him struggling.

So my question is, how can I help him keep his job. Would really appreciate your advice. And if it is you who I am talking about, reach out to me. I'm hidden, but here.

    Such a generous offer is to be respected - irrespective of whether it is taken up / acted upon.

    Wishing you well "out there".

    There is much to learn from a storm.

    Hoping your evening is one of recuperation.
