Hi all,
just wanted to ask how people navigate work while having autism.
I have been struggling with burn out recently, and got my first 9-5 role last year. I thought it was going well until my peers thought I was “too quiet” as I didn’t talk as much in loud groups and meetings. And I have to often ask for repeat instructions as its hard for me to take them verbally. Its also left me neglecting daily life things as masking at work leaves me exhausted when I get home.
I told them of my diagnosis but I feel it may have made things worse, as I am on probation and theyve raised that I might not be the right fit for the role. So now I am tackling staying and trying to mask harder or resigning.
I really do want to work, but I wanted to know if anyone relates? And how did they find work they like and manage it?
thanks all
