New diagnosis

Martina

Hi all,

I have recently been diagnosed as autistic and also having OCD at 30 years old.

I feel very emotional about it at the moment (can't stop crying) and would be very grateful for any advice on how to come to terms with my diagnosis please.

I also work full time and was wondering what other people find helpful in terms of work adjustments?

Many thanks,

Martina

  • It's a difficult moment for you, I wish you come to terms with it soon. When it comes to adjustments at work- my colleagues know, that I need more time to process information, especially if they interrupted a task. I am allowed to use earplugs, I receive additional explanation to various situations- what someone meant etc, as I have quite many misunderstandings. I work in a warehouse of a hardware store.
