Massachusetts workers' rights being Aspie

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,

I guess like everyone else, I've done my little research looking for resources to understand more and feel more comfortable. I have tried to locate information about, and once I have my diagnosis, try to adapt my workplace to feel more comfortable (the light is too bright, a lot of people talking around me, people coming and going...), but I have not found out what rights I have as a worker (Massachusetts). It is true that for children there are a lot of resources, but for adults not so many. Does anyone have experience in this?

Thanks for your help.
