Hi There,
I am in my late 40's and have discovered I have autism a couple of years ago, I started working for a new employer who does lots of team building and what I call forced social events about a year ago and am really finding it hard. I had my first meltdown since I was a child this week when I walked into a room for one of these events.
I am trying to work out what reasonable adjustments I can request and wondered if anyone had some tips to help me. I like the job and like the people I work closely with and my manage is very supportive but I can't seem to get them to understand me and how it effects me.
Any help would be great.
Thank you
Mark

A starting point would be to list what does effect you - can you be a bit more specific about the situations where you feel it is your autism causing you issues and we can recommend some tactics.
