Work Is Not Good
So for the last 3 weeks or so I have tried working at a pharmaceutical manufacturer in my area. Aspergers has not been kind to me - I’m scared to show up now, to anxious to sleep because I have had already a meltdown on the floor which involved me crying, and I feel so out of place.
My co-workers and Line Coordinator are very supportive - and yes the know I’m autistic. My boss knows as well, but its getting to the point of where I can’t get my work done. I can’t sleep because I’m so worried that I will mess up the next night - and I have been a complete mess.
On top of that I have had someone tamper with my car on a regular basis, to the point where it was not functional which caused me to be late to work. I’m supposed to be in work right now, but I called in because I’m so freaking stressed out.
