on one of my lasts posts, most of the people that answered agreed with the idea I’m on the spectrum. I don’t know. I don’t see anything wrong being myself.

I’d just like some serious answers from neurotypicals explaining to me why my question triggered my coworker so much:

Manager called me to ask if I can take an extra shift at a different unit because they’re short staffed due to illness. I agreed.

Because that unit sometimes overfills and nurses there have to take care of more patients than the ratio agreed with the union I called the unit to ask how many patients they do have today, to have an idea if my shift tomorrow is going to be an easy or a difficult one.

The coworker started yelling and calling me an idiot and using some other choice words, so I said “ok” and hung up.

I didn’t yell at her, I simply asked the question in a neutral tone, and I still don’t get the animosity.

20 minutes later the same person calls to inform she called our manager and tomorrow I don’t have to work at that unit.

All this stupid drama because I asked how many patients they have? I simply don’t get it.

Am I really this autistic?

    I’ve seen people walked out for less andI work in a factory. Call your union rep and tell them about undertaffing and retaliation.

        Supervisor yelled at someone for being on their phone or something like that. Didn’t call them any names. Just yelled at them in front of other people.
