I worked six days back to back with yesterday being the last of the six days. I felt like I was super close to experiencing shutdowns several times while on the clock. We can’t wear or use headphones while on the clock for obvious reasons and we can’t linger in the break room or be on our phones (unless given permission). My main triggers are any loud noises like babies/toddlers/young children screaming (I know that our non autistic counterparts handle this differently to where it isn’t a disturbance). I end up covering my ears and walk back and forth for a bit. I’ve also had some comments made by other customers/coworkers (in good faith of course, usually referring to me not wanting kids).
where I work I’m not the only employee that is disabled/has a disability (invisible or not). What should I do?
