What if I lose my job?

Post Reply New Topic

I am looking for an advocate or support network in the case I can no longer work. Just got qualified for reasonable accomodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act due to my autism but what if I still can't perform? What if I still cannot keep my job before I find something that best utilizes my strengths? I need an autism expert that I can work with. I work harder than anyone it seems but will it be enough?

What sort of job do you have?

What sort of difficulties are you experiencing?

I guess the first thing you can do is contact the Juneau autism society or whatever.

I have a desk job where it is hard to focus on my work. I did get alternate lighting from flurescent lights which helped for awhile. Juneau does not have an autism society (I so wish they did I know of several others on the spectrum here). I will keep looking for an autism society in Alaska but if anyone knows what I can do please let me know.

Thank you.

There is the Alaska Autism Society, which is based in Fairbanks.

Do you work for the State of Alaska?

I was in Juneau once.
