  • Do you mostly enjoy your job? Do you have reasonable adjustments in place? I only ask because if you do enjoy it but don't have things in place to support you then this might be a better starting point than handing your notice in. Sometimes after a meltdown it feels like there's no other options.

    If you don't enjoy your job or just find it really stressful and adjustments likely wouldn't help then fair enough. But give yourself enough time to properly think about the decision and make sure handing in your notice would be financially viable. You may have to look for other jobs first, it depends on your situation.

    Autism can be hard sometimes. Hope you're feeling better soon.
