Just want to add that having read all the comments and your posts, Ruby, that I actually admire you. It's hard to hear what people are telling you, and your thinking does bounce back and forth but I think it's commendable that you are finally trying to learn from this situation.
You got fired because you were told not to come in on days off and you did anyways...it doesn't matter the reason. You could easily have had those conversations with the district manager on days you were working or by calling his/her office. So I hope you recognize that and realize that in the future you need to obey the rules regardless of whether or not you agree with them or feel you have a reason to break them.
Keep asking these questions of yourself and challenging your thinking. It will be important to develop coping skills so that you can identify certain behaviors before they get out of hand and redirect yourself. I don't have Asbergers, but I have PTSD and my anxiety and flashbacks cause me sometimes to "misbehave" and I've had to learn to identify when I'm doing something out of the overwhelming anxiety and stress and survival mode reaction and how to redirect my thought process.
I think it's commendable and ADMIRABLE that YOU are seeking help. I think that has been overlooked here that maybe you didn't know what was wrong with your behavior but at least you want to understand.
Keep doing a good job at your retail job, and try to recognize when your feelings get so strong that they make you want to break rules.
Good luck,
Seesaw
