Leaving my job

illustrated.lady

Hello! 

I was diagnosed as autistic 6 months ago, I'm in my thirties. I had been going through a lot of stress and anxiety, particularly related to work so I outed myself and requested reasonable adjustments which were rejected.

Long story cut short, after a lot of absences, meetings and the like, I have concluded that I am just done. I am off sick currently but have decided to hand in my four weeks notice when I return.

I'm very fortunate, my partner earns well and is very supportive but I will of course be looking to get a new job asap. 

Has anyone ever done similar? Any advice or words of wisdom would be much appreciated!

  • I walked away about 3 months ago, I was so done and filled with built up anxiety that I left that day in fact and didn’t return. I cushioned myself mentally by not acknowledging the huge change it was about to bring although my routine went out the window and I am still searching for that ideal job it was a good decision to make. Mental health and wellbeing can be too badly damaged by a role to return from and unfortunately in this NT world there’s too few people who truly understand the war wounds we can walk around with, Now I am in a position to choose a job more wisely however there are very very few I am comfortable or confident in.
