What was the straw that broke the camels back?

We knew from when I was a child that it was possible/probable that I was autistic, but my parents didn't see an advantage to getting me assessed. The tipping point for getting assessed came when I was firmly in a mental health crisis after returning to school after covid after loosing all my coping skills from lack of practice. 

We had accepted I was autistic long before then, the difficult thing to accept was that it was sufficiently disabling to warrant diagnosis. 

Actually the true tipping point was when I was on a walk on a phone call to an autistic friend sobbing and she said 'This isn't coping'

That was the moment I realised I needed to seek more support

I had the same today, I cried all the way home from work because it’s stressing me out too much, hated doing that outside but the tears just kept coming, ended up emailing my boss, he called back panicking saying you can’t leave, he’s been very supportive so far.

Third time lucky, keep trying to respond but it isn’t posting. We had a new software installed a few years back, it was a disaster from the start, nobody asked to fix something not broken. Every issue I’ve raised has been dismissed as not important but these are the most important functions to the job? I’m being disrespected and I won’t have it any longer. My colleagues for the most part are like plants sat in the chair, I’m constantly doing the thinking for them.

I may have missed previous posts of yours on this, but do you know what the stress barriers in your work are? Have you had a meeting with your boss to discuss ways to manage these?
