    Help! In trouble at work ...

    Thank you Gillie. It took them nearly a year and a half to put anything in place. I've had two OHS interviews since which state what you have above. But nothing really changed. There's no structured training - even when they brought new software in, we got one morning to tell us how to put a...

    Help! In trouble at work ...

    Thank you, Toothless. Your comment is much appreciated. I fear that I may have some of the lowest support people as it is - although when they go into crisis, they go into crisis! I really don't know what to suggest to my employer as I fear they may use it against me. I know I can do my job and...

    Help! In trouble at work ...

    That's not a silly idea at all! I'll look to see if there's any apps out there that could do the same thing. Because I struggle big time with dates, this might be a winner. Now just to talk myself out of a warning...

    Help! In trouble at work ...

    Yes. Support plans for all clients. I will point out at this time that some of my co workers are pretty behind too but I appear to be the only one being pulled for it. Also, when I started the job, we had it all on an access database with a page colour coded to show when these things get done -...

    Help! In trouble at work ...

    Hi, I don't often post in here because forums are my giant tarantulas! I am late diagnosis aspergers with possibility of dyscalculia (I seem to have similar issues to dyslexia but I really struggle with dates/numbers). I started as a support worker for young adults last September. When I...

    Possible meltdowns due to change?

    Wow! Thank you all for your support! You gave me the courage and clarity to go in today and have a long chat with Boss No.1. I also gave him a copy of The Employers Guide to Aspergers to read and arranged a meeting with Boss No. 2 (who's really Boss No.1 - but let's not confuse things). After...

    Possible meltdowns due to change?

    Thank you so much. All of you. I just spent half an hour in the shower coming up with a concise, assertive speech which covers all points for my boss. Of course, when it comes down to it, I'll probably stammer a pile of nonsense followed by bursting into tears! Bah. :D

    Possible meltdowns due to change?

    I would love to ask for that, but I'm pretty scared to. I did try to set up a process map when I started but then things changed again - and the volume of work increased. Also, due to not having stuff explained to me, things that an NT person may have realised as important, I didn't and ended up...

    Possible meltdowns due to change?

    Oh, that would be fab but I took sick leave the other week and I'm still on probation. My new manager knows how I am feeling. It only really occurred to me today that my current state of mind may be AS related. If other AS people have felt this way too in the face of many changes, I can write...

    Possible meltdowns due to change?

    Thank you Mattymatt, I try observing but I perform a role which no one else does. I've tried going outside and decompressing but it's like someone has taken my head, shaken it and mixed everything up in it. I'm barely holding it together right now.

    Possible meltdowns due to change?

    Hi, I'm sorry, I rarely post in this forum - mainly because forums scare the life out of me! I'm just wondering if the way I'm feeling right now at work is due to my Aspergers. I'll explain a little further, I started a new job in March. Loved it. I got asked to act up to another role. So I...
