I have had times of extreme stress and have had to take time off work. Now I wonder if this was related to having autism or just being overwhelmed by stressful situations.
hi
you said you had, does it mean you don't feel any reaction to it anymore?
The last time I had to take time off was when there were a few things going on and it got too much. Then Covid came and we had to work from home. Since then I have been able to work from home, so if things get too much I can take time out away from people, so have been able to manage better. At the time I did not realize I was autistic.
If you continue working from home, without any period of time when you feel like you don't have any energy to do anything,it's going to be stress at work, masking is exausting, and we are aware we can't do it without end
