Work has been stressful lately on a social level. I've been working on a non hospice case for awhile so the patient is functioning well with all the cnas except me. The patient is always happy to see the other cnas as they use their charm and humour to brighten the patient's day. They have the ability to connect with each other, but I can't because I'm autistic and worse slow processing. I am one of the best cnas because I can handle stress well at work and do my work well, but I'm terrible at providing emotional support. I don't understand jokes, idk what to say usually, and so on. I'm scared that I might lose this case and I can't change how I understand people socially. I've been looking at other jobs, but a lot of them involve partially being a receptionist which is a big no for those with autism. I plan on talking to a college disability consular about this and figure out what a good job would be. I think I would like to be a lab assistant if possible.
