Disclosure of autism at work holds risks and benefits
I&#x27;m having difficultly explaining my child has autism and need the time off all the time. Seriously people&#x27;s expectations versus handling reality are very misaligned. Everyone constantly tells me I look sleepy and I&#x27;ve over heard from some that maybe I drink too much. They don&#x27;t understand the time it takes to drive a kid to see 3 different specialists every other week, to drive to and from ABA therapy (which doesn&#x27;t keep consistent hours or after care) they don&#x27;t understand that she can&#x27;t get into daycare (she&#x27;s been kicked out by almost everywhere) and they definitely don&#x27;t get why I&#x27;m like just a grain of sand away from losing it.
