I just got done with two stressful, confusing phone calls, and I'm already tired. I'm scheduled to meet up to apply for SSDI on 9/22. Another one, the agent said my FMLA is exhausted but could try to request an accommodation through the ADA regarding my reduced schedule. I don't know what that entails or even how to apply.

I suppose I could tell my therapist about sensory issues, but he seems to not consider sensory issues to be a part of autism, so he might fight on that.
