Is it ever appropriate to say this to someone who’s struggling?

In my new work environment there’s many stimulation things that are affecting my autism and causing anxiety when I told her this this she was like quit and go on disability and I got immediately pissed because it’s not that black and white because 10 years before this I did perfectly fine in retail and maybe I’m not able to do warehouse work

yeah i'd be pissed too. just because you have autism and anxiety doesn't mean you need to go on disability. they are dismissing you. i have struggles like that too, some people just don't understand. who is she? just a coworker? ignore her. in the meantime, find ways you can lessen the stimulation. my work place is very accommodating and if i asked of anything, they make sure to do what helps me work better. i know not all work places are like that tho.

what is overstimulating you there? lights? noise? workload? people? boxes?

i worked retail when i was younger for like 2 weeks. it was only supposed to be seasonable but not 2 weeks lol. i had to quit, thankfully i was only like 17 or 18 and living at home at the time. it was awful. i really feel for you

Yeah that was extremely rude of her to say. Sounds like she doesn't even know what she's talking about. She doesn't know you.

I think it’s pretty solid advice. If you can collect money without working, why wouldn’t you?

Because that’s abusing the system, there are some on the spectrum who truly can’t work I’m not in that conversation like I highlighted above before this role 10 years in Retail and the only reason I left that role was because the company was losing money and cut positions

Don’t worry. If you don’t abuse the system, someone else will do it for you.

Why do u keep spamming about your ex move on mate

[Asker]

This isn’t about my ex it’s about a family member who told me to quit my job and go on disability because it’s a bad fit due to my autistic traits
