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?

      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.
