I don’t necessarily have an issue disclosing this information with the store manager (who is really nice) but the issue is that I haven’t been diagnosed with autism so I don’t exactly have anyone to talk to about how working will look now that I’m aware I’m autistic; the last therapist I was working with traumatized me during the autism assessment. Like that whole experience was traumatic in general and because of that, I’ve put a pause on the autism diagnosis extravaganza 3,000. But the reality is that I do have this thing (yes I’ve done my research, yes I’m aware of what it means to self-diagnose, and no, I’m not looking for your input on something I know about myself) and that I have more needs than I thought and some of those needs I have no clue how to meet and I’m trying to find another therapist but the reality is that I’m starting this job soon and I’m extremely nervous and worried that I’ll self destruct as a result of my new coworkers/manager getting upset with me for being “slower” I don’t know how to word it or bring it up to the store manager. The store manager gave me her phone number if I have any questions and also hired me on the spot (she said she normally doesn’t do this; and by the way—those last couple sentences aren’t meant in a look-at-me-way. I say this because I’m 70% sure she’s aware that I’m on the spectrum—I used my fidget cube n hardly made make eye contact and still got the job. What do I do? I want to do a good job but I’m worried I won’t be able to handle it. Any advice or insight? Thank you 🐛
