workplace not bothering to do the work on understanding autism

Phased

I am once again damaged by meltdown and shutdown from experiencing this.

Anyone else completely dismayed at this experience?

Parents

  • I’m not working but I experienced similar when I was working, not because work didn’t bother to understand autism as I didn’t know I was autistic then, but because there was no understanding of ‘mental health’ and my needs were listened to. 

    I don’t know if it would have made a difference whether or not I had known I was autistic back then. I always thought it would have done, yet experiences like yours show it would not necessarily be so.

    I wish you weren’t experiencing this. Confused
