One of my consistent weaknesses as an employee is not being confident and contributing to my full potential. Managers comment on it. But for every time I engage, take ownership & steer a project to success & accolades, there's a time I went in a direction no one wanted/expected.https://twitter.com/NeuroRebel/status/1180104587300216832 …

We can't perform to our full potential if we don't feel it's safe to fail. That's true for everyone. It's just that autistics have a lot of fears that our bosses can't relate to. I found if I explained I had anxiety (before I knew I had autism), that helped people understand.
Same. I find myself working overtime to get all my tasks done in the allotted multi-week time frame. There's the option of pushing tasks further out, and my coworkers do it all the time, but I consider it a personal failing to not have it all done at the deadline. I fear failure.
