Letting work know

random

I had a couple of Crises this past week, and in panic I emailed work to let them know I have aspergers and cant cope. They have asked to have a meeting to discus my problems and see if they can help. I am really dreading it, keep changing my mind on what I should let them know. My last job, I seeked help from them for anxiety and depression, they did help for a year, but was made redundant, and I am certain this was because of my problems.

  • I thought I would update this thread, I feel the autism team I am with have reduced the priority of support for me because of how work have "sold" the employee assistance team at the meeting. I am worried, because this is at a critical time when I am hoping my ongoing support sorted out. Soon it will be nearly a year I have been waiting for some counsuelling which I said I needed even before going through the diagnosis, let alone with all the issues brought up in the past going through the process.

    The assistance program at work is starting in January, and all the information I have about it is all marketting based. I feel I will get limited support from it, but nothing to the level like it was discussed in the meeting.

    This has been an unexpected problem, just updating it to let anyone who is thinking about letting work know to consider very carefully what information you give about it to any health teams you are working with.
