Hi there, 1st time poster long time reader. I wont go into too much detail about my case, im just after some basic advice regarding an issue I have.
I have an upcoming employment tribunal, we are representing ourselves, and until recently I didnt realise that id have to read out my statement in person. The issue with this is that I have aspergers and a stutter, and struggle with ANYTHING social, even the school run, so how the hell am I supposed to stand up infront of a judge, and the people who sacked me, and read out a statement that took us 14 hours to put together. Its really long and will take me at least an hour to read. I keep myself to myself in life, always have, I only interect when I absolutely have too. I havent slept for a few weeks, and with a few weeks to go ive no idea what state im going to be in come the days for the hearing. Its a 2 day hearing and doubt ill sleep for about 4 days, the day before the 2 days and the day after. I struggle to sleep as it is, and im going to be a complete wreck.
Is there anything I can do to prevent me having to read this out?
Also to a lesser extent im worried about being cross examined as my brain works a little differently to normal people and I can just come out with anything at times to tell people what they want to hear. My condition is involved directly to my case and evidence, though 99% of people who know what I have, have no clue what it is and how it affects me, I often feel no one knows exactly what I go through on a daily basis, even fellow aspies, as every one has completely different symptoms, or percentages of symptoms.
Cheers people, feel free to PM me or drop any advice on here
Kindest regards
