    How do you present yourself, how do you handle colleagues and does your employer help you?

    Thanks for sharing! I'm rather quiet myself on lunch breaks and like to do something like reading as well. =) Photography is awesome! Good luck and I hope you'll have to 'survive' a little less some day.

    How do you present yourself, how do you handle colleagues and does your employer help you?

    Thank you for your response! I can start a business without supervision in the Netherlands. I have studied to do so, reading in to marketing surely is a good idea if I'd start my own company. A lot of jobs in the Netherlands are based on 0-hour contracts and a lot of uncertainty even the ones...

    Thank you for sharing! I am so happy for you that you have fought for and found a work environment that helps you! I'm rooting for you! I watched the video and it is a really good one, thanks for sharing! I even sent it to my psychologist because she knows many more people who could use a video...

    How do you present yourself, how do you handle colleagues and does your employer help you?

    Thanks for sharing and for your advice! The only way an employer usually finds out is by telling them yourself (in the Netherlands). The thing is that I always get to a point somewhere in the first 2 months when I work somewhere, where people notice I'm a bit different. And it's not different in...

    How do you present yourself, how do you handle colleagues and does your employer help you?

    From clients I also got a lot of compliments, I have rather efficient masking as well. One on one conversations don't drain me as much, especially when it has a purpose and topic of conversation as I practice as a dietitian. I have trouble with gatherings of co-workers as well, I hate to go on a...

    How do you present yourself, how do you handle colleagues and does your employer help you?

    I worked as a dietitian in a hospital for 2 months. Prior to that job I worked as a dietitian outside the hospital for over a year. Which went really well, I got a lot of compliments from clients. But I struggled to get by and therefor I found a different job. At the job in the hospital I filled...

    How do you present yourself, how do you handle colleagues and does your employer help you?

    Thanks for sharing! I always try to blend in and take an interest in my co-workers/friends. One on one contact is something I am good at. Groups make me very nervous, both because I don't automatically feel safe (it takes quite some time for me to get past that point, I can get comfortable when...

    How do you present yourself, how do you handle colleagues and does your employer help you?

    Hello all, I recently lost my job as a dietitian and I am currently in a process of thinking about my options. I love to help people get healthier and I am not bad at doing it either. As I love to work as a dietitian I want to continue to do so. However I have some trouble with a few things and...

    Do you travel well or have travel anxiety?

    Hey! I used to have major anxiety. The thing that helped me was to just keep going anyway, despite the suffering. And another thing that helped me was a lot of mindfulness/meditation. Travel comes with a lot of factors that can go wrong. Would it help if you'd prepare for some things, so you...

    Well, I am new here

    Hey, thanks for sharing! I am pretty much always seeing a therapist. I am currently at the right place, a company specialised in autism. They help me with all kinds of stuff and help me in understanding myself. I am also participating in a program there with other women who have autism. It's...
