Hi all,
Im Vee, an adult autistic person. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago and have had problems with bullying/discrimination in the work place. My anxiety caused by this is awful at the moment and am constantly having meltdowns. I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there who is or has had similar experiences and may be able to share any advice help etc. Be good to hear.

Reporting someone NEVER makes you feel better.
Any chance you could be moved somewhere else? Thankfully no one I work with is a problem but if they were my first action would be to ask if there was anyway this could be resolved without the offender even knowing about it? I can see options on this in my own workplace but definitely not a ‘luxury’ every worker has.
just to clarify i had years of one person continually saying bad things about me and damaging my relationship with other people. Then one day a new guy was recruited and he said to me "you do realise she is bullying you", he triggered me and that's when i reported her.
and I agree that was a mistake which is weird in a way !
Reporting someone did make me feel better. as I was asserting myself but it didnt work in the long run as I became the "trouble maker".
there was no way for me to move. I did ask.. I am looking elsewhere to move to.
I am much better now at controlling my reactions thanks to Zen,
