Wanting to return to work following AS diagnosis

addlestones

Hi

I've been diagnosed with Asperger's and been with a garden retail company for 16years full time and 21 years in total.

I've seen the good, the bad and ugly but unfortunately have struggled with the bad and ugly recently resulting in first taking two weeks off with stress and then told to take time off until my diagnosis report. Following the diagnosis I was told to take time off until I've seen an Occupational Health assessor. That report is now been sent to my employer and my 'sick note' runs out on the 12th Sept. 

I love the company I work for and want to return to work. Any advice would be helpful especially regarding the law.

  • The role I was doing has currently been filled by someone else even though I have returned to work. The person who has 'replaced me' has put a grievance in because I said I wanted to get back to what I was doing before my diagnosis. Should I put in a counter-grievance? I am not popular at work because of my 'quirks' as someone put it and a manager has told me I should grow a thicker skin!!!
