I have been diagnosed with OCD and Depression and ADHD and I am taking meds for those. I have been having problems at work lately. I have had them before. I was told by a few people (one had retired years ago) that I am in the perfect place to work because most people wouldn't understand me and I could lose my job if I were somewhere else. We have a new manager and I guess I am in some kind of trouble.

My boss and I have had our differences and I have gone beyond the call of duty not to let things she says get to me. She tends to talk down to me. She talks to me like a child. 2 weeks ago it was too much and I was told my attitude wasn't good. Her boss is on vacation (she was one of the ones who told me I am in the right place). Well my boss is mad at me and someone told me she is in cahoots with our manager (we have had for 2 years). I had a performance eval in May 2011. I got an email saying to meet my boss in 35 minutes for another eval. I walked up to her desk and asked her why was I getting two. She said stiffly that she would tell me at the meeting. I called the Union and they told her I requested a representative with me so she canceled till Jan 9.

My daughter told me that I used to say things that were wrong and miss social cues and she would try to tell me but I would interpret her as disrespecting me. She told me the other day that I either over perceive something that isn't true or under perceive.

I don't know if I have Aspergers or not. I took the online test and I scored 36. I have always felt I didn't belong in the work place. I am not in a relationship. I don't have friends to hang out with. I have my daughter and 3 beautiful grandkids.

When I am not at work, I am usually stuck in my apt, unless I go see the kids which might be once a week or every two weeks.

The people at work know I have issues. But Aspergers is something my daughter wants me to bring to the table as a disability so they can't fire me or get me in trouble. I do see a psychiatrist and he acknowledges the OCD, Depression and the ADHD. He has never mentioned or thought of Aspergers.

I am confused. Is this why I can't move up at work and get into trouble sometimes and why I don't have a mate? Is this why I think back and realize I have said the wrong things and have turned many people away from me? Am I a freak or something?
