Comments from co-workers

kiwipip

Hi everybody,

I was wondering how people cope with co-workers making comments towards you such as telling me I’m over thinking if I’m struggling to understand what somebody is inferring or how to interpret a situation. I think if I made comments like that to any of my colleagues I would possibly be reported for bullying and marginalising behaviour, however it doesn’t seem to work the other way around. 

I don’t want to disclose to my co-workers that I have autism as In the past I have found this actually increases bullying and harassment and obsessive behaviour towards myself but I also don’t want to be discriminated against with off hand comments so I now generally keep quiet and internalise things I may normally query. Will this likely to be resolved in a cliquey culture and is it something worth bringing up with my manager if I don’t know them that well. Should I talk to somebody outside of my team first? 

any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated

  • What I realised is my guard is down to some extent. The team depend on each other, but when singled out can rarely think on their own initiative. At some point in history this way of thinking in a homogenous must have been advantagous to survival. Neurodiverse thinking might have cast you out or called a witch.  Do not go against the team or speak ill of anyone who manages the team or you will not be in the team for long. I have been a whistleblower twice and have both times been burned.
