Hi my name is Alan i i have just been diagnosed with level2 autism.
i have been unemployed since the beginning of the pandemic, and am on universal credit.
A job program forced me to take a job working from home for a call centre, and have been quickly overwhelmed by the job
and dread it. i want to leave the job, but am worried i will be sanction by universal credit for leaving a paid job.
i had the assessment back in October, and didn't receive the diagnosis until after i had taken the job.
my main question is will i be sanction or will they consider it justified because of this diagnosis and the way it triggers my autism?
