Firstly, I am autistic and routine is key for me in the morning. I also have an autistic child who will also be in the car and my eldest child.
A colleague approached me today asking if I could give them a lift in the morning to work. I said "okay but it will be early". Told her the time I could get her by.
I will be going slightly out of my way in order to pick them up and there is generally more traffic on the route too. It also means my eldest needs to be sat in the back and dropped off further away from their school than usual due to being sat on the opposite side of the car. I don't mind picking my colleague up occasionally however I am really going to struggle to do it every day. They are also notorious for running late - something that will cause stress for me as I have a lot of things to do each morning.
I have been given lifts by other people within the work place however these have been reciprocated where necessary.
AIBU to not pick my colleague up every day?
