Does this happen to anyone else?

Not sure if this is autism-related so would be grateful if anyone else could say if it happens to them too.

At the age of 54 I still get ill the way children do, sudden onset of illness, which is often debilitating and severe, then suddenly well again. For instance last night I felt so ill I had to go to bed early, woke this morning with a hign temperature and aches, slept all day and am now fine and full of beans.

This is a problem because I feel my employer thinks I'm saying I'm sick when I'm not because I don't need the recovery time that other people seem to do. For instance today I called in sick saying I had a hign temperature and felt dreadful but tomorrow I will be back at work and will be fine. Other people might need a few more days off. If this is autism-related it would be easier to explain to them.

  • Age is more likely to be a factor. Joints begin to become more sensitive and more responsive to any change in circumstances. Other response centres affected when ill in the past may be more likely to show signs when feeling under the weather.

    The thing is, without wishing to belittle your own experience, but rather to castigate your employers, this is quite common.

    So your employers ought to wise up about such things, save themselves a lot of employee relations problems.
