I’m autistic and I’m really struggling at work, I feel like I’m at breaking point. I want to request some reasonable adjustments but I’m unsure what might count as reasonable.
For example, I work across three different areas - it’s same job but different client. Each area has slightly different processes and I find it difficult to switch between them and remember the little idiosyncrasies. I would like to be able to work focusing on just one area. The rationale for working across all three is so that there can be flexibility with staffing if people are off as everyone knows how to do everything. I get that, but for me it’s a lot to process. Due to the size of team if I was allowed to work just one area there would still be enough people that know all the areas. Is this reasonable?
I’ve previously asked if I can wear different clothes and been told no as ‘everyone would prefer that’. I feel like if I was in more comfortable clothes I’d be more productive as part of my brain is occupied thinking about how uncomfortable I am.
