So I've Been Working Full-Time

Post Reply New Topic

...for a month now. I have had a really bad flu and am still coughing. I feel physically worn down. On Friday my schedule was totally turned upside down and I ended up running all over the place. It was very stressful and I hope it doesn't happen often. Following my routine is crucial to my survival.
I am struggling with managing my work relationships which are impossible to keep strictly professional. People's feelings and personalities always come into play. But my focus remains the job. There is a slight distraction from a younger guy I work with with on whom I have a crush. He is too young for me and is "playing the field." Still I find myself thinking about him too often.

My job is very physical and the mental stress is warring. How do other autistics cope with working full time?

It helps to get plenty of sleep--even taking a nap right after work if I need it.
