First assessment tomorrow

WhatsLeft

Hi everyone. I'm here with my first post and hopefully more to come. I  have been following others' amazing journeys though. After 45 years of going through all the struggles,  I'm nervously looking forward for my first assessment tomorrow. Hopefully peace and closure will follow.

  • You are very lucky with your HR and occupatioal health people! I got sent to an OH doctor who decided after very few questions that I suffer from depression and should take antidepressants (which I didn't agree with and didn't do, adding another offence) and was sacked after telling HR that a counsellor had suggested I should be tested for AS.

    If they are willing to help you I think your chances to stay in work are pretty good because a lot of it comes down to attitude and how people interpret the "strange" things about you. If they recognise them as difficulties you have that they need to manage somehow and they are willing to get advice with this rather than seeing them as misbehaviour you need to get punished for then that's a great starting point and they will value the things you are good in. Good luck!
