Employee with autism - what are my rights?

xor

I have been working with the same company for years. I have been told today that even though I am capable of doing my work well, I was told I cannot get the promotion I wanted. This is due to my "disability" and problems with communication. I work in a busy office and am very straight forward and this tends to annoy people. I am sad because I work harder so they cannot use my autism as an excuse. I am very good with my job and have been told multiple times that I do a really good job. I am sad because it feels like I will never get promoted. I am autistic and will definitely have the condition for the rest of my life. Saying to me that I cannot get the promotion because I have issues with communication due to my autism means that I will never get promoted.

That's it. It is sad.

  • I am not competitive. I love what I do and think of it as a hobby. I like engineering, maths, and computers. I know how lucky I am asparagus. I have been homeless, hungry, alone at one point in my life. I don't have any family and I only have one friend who cares for me.

    I wish you luck in your search for employment. If ever I can help, please do let me know.

    you may not feel like it at moment because you are sad but hey, you have a job and a job. Many of us aren't so lucky.

    May be if you got that promotion you maynt like it that much anyway as every job is different. 

    But most importantly, hey you have a job. I can't get one... but you have a job. well done X
