Autistic Burnout and Issues at work

NAS89935

Hi Everyone 

I wonder if I could have some advice please, I have been struggling with frequent Autistic Burnouts and have run afoul of my employers sickness policies. 

I have no other time of with any other ailments as I never seem to get virus's or other form of illness.

My employer is talking about redeployment as I work for the NHS.

At the moment, I am feeling very unsettled and anxious as I don't really know whats going on going through another burnout but afraid to go off work. I am at stage 1, this will lead to stage 2.

I am very extreamly depressed and do not know what to do as I believe management do not understand Autistic Burnout and I am tired of trying to explain.

Thanks you!

  • I have left jobs for feeling the same. I exhausted the sickness policies and didnt see an alternative. I wasnt well, but i didn't know that i was autistic. Would adjustments at work of helped me? I dont think so. I needed time out on my own terms. I have continued to find alternative work except for a few months.  I dont regret my decisions, even if they were a little impulsive. I often say to myself....what is the worst that can happen? I hope you can feel better soon and reach a decision that is best for you x
