Returning to work today with the autistic feeling that I will be in trouble for something.

Unmet expectations, even for tiny things, are distressing for me too. Sometimes I think I should change, (e.g. I'd rather not lose my shit because someone moved my charger), other times I feel unchangeable and try to accommodate my different brain (e.g. lists! A million lists everywhere for everything!)
