Diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome - not allowed back to work

Hi

I was diagnosed with having Asperger's Syndrome this week and was asked to go 'on sick' by work until I had my assessment four weeks ago due to issues at work. Now I have my diagnosis I'm not being allowed back to work due to 'duty of care' and issues where I work. I haven't been told when I can return to work but have been asked to go and see my doctor to be signed off again. I'm not sick. Any suggestions how I can get back to work which is what I love doing and is my focus in life.

  • Have worked for the comapny for sixteen years full time and twenty one years in total. Have held many positions including managerial positions. I work in garden retail and love my job and company. Found out today someone is being trained to do my role which has never happened before and found out through the grapevine as no one is telling me officially anything. I've been told to stay away from work although someone else who is off sick is allowed to come and go as they please. 

    I've witnessed a great deal while working and know a great deal and feel that knowledge is scary to others who want it silenced.
