Trust me: Some of the people who were employed at that company are pure evil, and they probably deserve to die a horrible death. I am also not convinced they even understood autism very well either. Social services seem to think people with disabilities don't deserve to have a normal stress-free life, despite their claim to be assisting their clients.
This post is going to be fairly long, but it should provide a good indication of the kind of hassle I have received from these cretins...
Many years ago, I had a key worker who is old enough to be my mother, who has since retired due to suffering from MS. She was the helpful sort, and my mother really likes her, but I found her to be rather sarcastic. She ended up telling this guy who came to the company (who acted as my secondary support worker for a while) about my major obsession with me relentlessly hunting for my ex-girlfriend, during 2008. This was some scrub I met in the summer of 2005 who was just a user that I had developed strong feelings for regardless of how she conducted herself, and when I found her again years later, she treated me like dirt and had me buying her tons of expensive gifts using manipulative tactics.
Anyway, back then I was eager to find her whereabouts; I kept sticking these ads on a site called Gumtree. They have since cancelled this category, but you used to be able to add posts about seeking out people you lost touch with, and my key worker knew about these ads. So this man started emailing me under a nickname called Bruce Ritchie, taken the biscuit on purpose. His actual name is Patrick though, and he later admitted it was him just trying to 'help' me, and he also sent me emails mocking my taste in music as well (because he knows I like 80's bands). It was very creepy too, because he named her schools and challenged me to one-up him in that field, but I could never obtain info like that anywhere, which suggests he may have known people related to her and was just having fun at my expense.
He left in 2010 because I suspect his bosses were concerned about his drinking habits, and we met up once to play pool. I'm not exactly what you would call bright, and I'm often too forgiving of other people who have massively mistreated me, just because I grew to like these traitors as people once, and my world is so small. The thing is, this guy was like the devil in disguise, because in person, he was never, ever like this at all. You would think he was ordinary enough. I'm aware that he had problems with his own partner, but it's no excuse for behaving like an imbecile. He was in a position of responsibility, too.
In recent years, I got screwed over by two former support workers, who are both female. Around the time I was getting harassed by my ex, I just happened to get a bit headstrong and ask a support worker to date me. By then, I was so desperate and not thinking straight. Despite the boundaries being disrespected, I really feel the way this Joanna acted was a major exaggeration, because we could have talked it over. We got one shift months later only because it was in a group setting and I just wanted to go out to get juice, but she acted odd like she felt uncomfortable leaving the premises with me, and then the people who did up the rota for my shifts claimed I would get more shifts with her, but they lied to spare me from the truth. Then one time I got angry and talked about her on Facebook, so they used that as the "reason" we were not working together anymore.
Then they did the same thing with my key worker; I had this pretty looking Hispanic lady for a key worker, and she was so nice when she first worked with me. She had been at the agency for ages before we actually started working together. Once people like other support workers and even this annoying service user told her things about me which alarmed her, it somehow caused her to turn against me. At first, she just acted sort of moody, but it was neither here nor there. Then it increased because she lied about going to South America (because she is in a relationship with a fitness instructor, who has also been a jerk towards me). She finally revealed she knew I liked her after I slipped up by calling her "petal" in a text message, but then she was treating me like crap whenever we had a shift, and she also did sleepovers at my accommodation in the staff flat, and she was starting to act offended, distant, and scared. From their point of view, I can see that they have to stay professional, but I feel like I got betrayed.
The exact same scenario played out again: She was removed like that other woman was, and her bosses lied and acted strange when I constantly confronted them, and they actually said she was still my key worker despite this being false. Eventually, a bit of sadness turned into a lot of sadness, and then into a lot of anger, since they were never going to support me ever again. Staff were then physically attacked and insulted, but during other occasions, they sabotaged me meeting with my former key worker in a coffee shop for example by calling the cops to stop me, then later denying they even knew the police were called, yet the pigs said it was them. There was also a time where the fuzz smashed my bedroom door in to get to me because they claimed to be "concerned" and then threatened to arrest me, yet I had done zero wrong.
After more games and lies, I was finally remanded in jail apparently for stalking the ladies who I was just apologizing to, although I did send a couple of sexually abusive emails only because of my pent up rage, but all the court did was use that to call me a sex offender on official charge papers. They jailed me four times on remand in 2014 and 2015 as well for breaching bail and whatnot, and after much deferring for background reports, they sentenced me to supervision orders, which have also been breached a few times when I merely sent apologetic type letters to these former workers.
It sounds nuts, because it is. A major overreaction occurred, and then before I knew it, my life was turned upside down. It has never been the same since.
