My daughter has autism and my husband is borderline aspergers. My query is to do with the difficulties my husband is having at work.
At various times throughout my husband's career he has been bullied (one did lead to over a year off work). During that time he was assessed for autism and the conclusion was that he has some traits. He started his current job about four years ago and this worked well until a new performance management system was introduced. He was placed in the lowest category for two reasons, one of which was not noticing when someone wanted to move the conversation on to a new topic.
His line managers are making an issue out of the communication difficulties and have refered him back to occupational health to determine which of the problems are due to autism and which aren't. I feel this is a difficult task. Has anybody tried to do this?
