Biggest fear coming true
I realize your problem is solved, but for the future-
Is there a way that you can get some kind of either official or unofficial social assistance? Either an actual assistant who you can put in charge of things like writing emails for you (you would then proofread and okay them) and going to meetings for you or a co-worker who wouldn't mind explaining some things to you in exchange for you doing some of their work for them?
Many higher position aspies have arrangements like this that help them cope with the aspects of their job that are more challenging.

Many higher position aspies have arrangements like this that help them cope with the aspects of their job that are more challenging.
There are recommendations such as:
1. Some sort of assistant or training for executive functioning issues
2. Vocational training that includes things like resume services, interviewing skill classes, social classes and a few other things.
3. The therapy has begun. I did not get to see my therapist this week due to scheduling. But, she did call to see how I was doing. Gave me a chance to tell her what happened at the counter ten minutes after we parted and a few other things. I'm learning to recognize the signs of an impending meltdown or outburst, so, I fled. LOL
Right now, it's fight or flight, I'm choosing flight these days.
But, there are things in the offing that are driving me nutso right now.....
I want it NOW!!
LOL
But it is moving at some speed that our current measuring systems are still trying to detect...
The elusive, but theorized "Speed of Government"
The universal speed limit on how slow any operation can work at it's slowest, most inefficient way possible.
It is my theory of governmental relativity.

Sent out the proposal. Let's see how that goes. That's usually failure number one. Hence the need for vocational understanding.
Too much, too little, too eager, too distant...too something or another.

Sounds like a good plan, zkydz.
If you, or anyone else here, are interested, I will be starting a dissertation project in the next year. I'm tentatively calling it Autistic Adults in Positions of Power.
It's about aspies and auties in positions of authority over other people or over important systems. I noticed in the project that I'm finishing up now, that people on the spectrum in these higher positions seem to have challenges and successes that are different from other career levels. So far, there's no academic literature, or even casual literature like news stories talking about these kinds of people. I think it would be great for young people and newly diagnosed people to have more appropriate role models. Other people in these situations might also have a sense of solidarity, knowing that they are not alone.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, just send me a direct message and I'll put you on a list to get back to when I start the project in the next year.

There are several of us dealing with this. And, all of us exist in one degree or another in the uncanny valley.

Meeting went well. Now I'm battling the negative effects of the prescribed meds. Just currently too strong. Makes me muddled.
But, thank you for that

Thanks. I skipped the 'sleep aid' last night and I am much more cogent.
Still working on the executive functioning issues yet though LOL. But I have a much clearer mind to do so now.
