If you work somewhere where that is the situation I would highly recommend trying to find a job that isn't as messed up. In the province of Ontario, employers are specifically needed to allow you to take your sick days for if you are feeling overwhelmed or something else is going on that is bad for your mental health.

Asperger's Syndrome isn't considered a mental illness it's considered a neurodevelopmental disorder. There are many people who are neurotypical who due to circumstances will have trouble with handling interactions with the outside world I don't see why being on the spectrum should be considered something worse than being a person who drinks alcohol and then insults someone.

I'm not sure I understand your analogy to drinking alcohol and insulting people?

I mean, you show up drunk to work and insult people, you get fired - right? What's the analogy to someone on the autistic spectrum?

Oh, I was thinking of the fact that someone who gets drunk at a gathering that is work adjacent who insults people and you don't get fired some of your co-workers might not like you but you can still move up the corporate ladder if it's just a not too often of a thing.
