Got told I should start posting again

How is the boy wonder, anyway?

Absent most of the time. He drops in every now and then to wave at us from his chariot. The most recent time was to do a poll on which new site layout people liked the best. Completely ignoring all the software bugs and so forth that WP has, of course.

I have the opposite problem in real life to you it seems. I am given no slack and at times I need it. I am not going to whine but I am in a very aspie-inapropriate job and it is high in stress and change. Sometimes I need a bit of pressure off or help or more slack and I do not get it. Nor can I ask for it as I was hired without them aware of my condition (I do not think I would have got the job if they knew).

[PuppetSockPenguin]

My problem isn't so much that I'm given too much slack as that people keep attributing autistic symptoms to emotional problems.
Then they think they've helped me because they've given me a retarded deep-breathing exercise or something like that.

My, oh my, how terribly patronising. And do you feel all better now, sweetie. The deep breathing made you head and tummy feel better?







Yup punch them in the throat.

That's exactly the advice that one of my friends gave. I appointed him as my new psychologist on the spot.

You sure they are friends?

I remember someone grabbing my arm to help me cross the road after I told them I am autistic. It is hard to know the right people to tell!

It's disturbing to think that neurotypicals might consider him a spokesman for the autistic community.

Start being overly clear in response, speaking slowly and explaining everything. When they ask what you are doing (which they are bound to do if you keep doing this), tell them you thought they were both stupid and ignorant.

It's disturbing to think that anyone would take him seriously.

Just be thankful it wasn't one of the guys here.  They would have grabbed your tits or ass and kept you there.

Kind of the same for me, but I am busted. Quite a few up there know about me.

I might lose my job if I was not one of the very best at doing it and completing tasks. What makes me more successful than most is that I "care" about doing my best and my best is pretty damn good.

Just today I had my yearly assessment.  I had no idea that it was due  (actually five months late, which I mentioned just before I signed things).

I do not know if I have told you how much animosity I hold for my managers for them having forced me to give up my full time job.

(LARGE story, better at another time)

Today I got a really great assessment which leads to a raise in pay. It is already done. Today was more about reporting the results of my yearly assessment

I found several openings from which to interject my fury. I only took one. I noticed that "my boss"  was assessing me as if I had not gone from full time to part time, fully expecting me to do the same job I did as a fulltimer, but restricted to part time work.

I mentioned that this conversation will be a very SHORT one, because we have been over and over this same shit many times. "You seem to forget that I AM NOW A PART TIME WORKER and all this shit you try to make me take responsibility for NOW falls to THE FULL TIMER, (YOUR FUCKING ROOM MATE, BTW) not to ME!!. I only work part time, now!

I said that I will continue to train him (our new full timer - who is cool and I like him and I want him to succeed, but I have no reason to take his job on anymore.) to the best of HIS abilities, but do not make me responsible for his failures nor accredited for his successes. He is on his own to sink or swim. "I will train him, but to get him up to MY speed in a few months is NOT going to happen.  I have been doing this same job for over six years and I am still learning, as YOU are."

Surely, you understand that taking my job away from me, in favor one infinitely less competent, diminishes my investment in this company, right?
