Hello. First post here.
I was diagnosed with autism early 2025.
I have had a lot happening in my life recently. But employment is my main anxiety. I’ve done lots of jobs in education, and music, but I’ve never been able to stay in a job long; they usually end acrimoniously.
I was made redundant last year - not for the first time. I was actually made redundant shortly after I disclosed the diagnosis. They of course said the redundancy was nothing to do with autism. I appealed and made things difficult for them - I made a subject access request and was close to taking them to an employment tribunal. But in the end I couldn’t be bothered. Right now they are advertising the same job again - 9 months after making me and four others redundant.
I have suffered from depression and anxiety for years. I would really love some therapy - it had helped in the past, but money is very tight at the moment. So I thought it would be worth getting involved here. I have plenty to be grateful for. But I haven’t really even stated getting my head round the diagnosis yet.
