       to all my fellow members
       during my working shift on Wednesday 3rd august I got into a
       heated discussion with my fellow colleague this resulted in
       flem(develops due to being worked up and stressed )coming out
       and landing on my colleagues vest
       I am now being accused of spitting which I am not and this has
       affected me emotionally and physically and im not that kind of
       person
       I am not returning to my current place of work and will look for
       something else when this has been resolved
       I will continue to post when possible and your support will be
       gratefully appreciated at this most difficult time
       many thanks

       Really sorry to hear this has happened to you, have you tried
       explaining to your work place, that you got worked up and it was
       unintentional?

       So sorry this has happened. Do you have a union rep or
       supervisor that can help you to write a statement about what
       happened? If not I can help you write one. Even if you choose
       not to go back, it would still clear your name regarding intent.
       Sending hugs.

       thank you all for your kind responses things have moved quickly
       so will try and explain as best as possible
       with the help of my dad we sent a letter to the company's hq and
       depot in the meantime I was summoned through a letter to attend
       a disciplinary investigation via my dad a statement from me was
       sent but the way I was treated and it was all done was wrong and
       my dad was thinking of going down the tribunal route away from
       this my brother got in touch with the independence trust and
       spoke to a nice kind woman by the name of Pippa
       anyway Pippa spoke to my dad and she mailed me with a general
       introduction to her role we are due to meet her after she comes
       back off leave on 31st meanwhile the company's manager has
       phoned my dad and is not best pleased into how I was treated and
       the disciplinary hearing wont take place due to me currently off
       sick but he wants to meet up with me at a neutral location for a
       chat about returning to the workplace or the suggestion of being
       somewhere else in the same area of work
       so I'm at a crossroads at the moment but have made a list of
       what I could do instead but the independence trust will support
       me if I change jobs and will include training
       I will update again with further news when possible

       latest update
       a few weeks ago my dad had a phone call from the company's 2nd
       in command- massive apologies for putting me in the position
       that I was in but due to being off with this then resulting in
       infection the disciplinary investigation has been suspended and
       my statement now not part of it either
       however he did want to meet me at a site he sometimes runs which
       I did yesterday from this he has said that the investigation
       will continue to be looked at and the outcome being in many of
       these cases "a slap on the wrist"
       so I have a choice of going to this site or returning to
       workplace but that will be decided once my infection clears
       which has not yet so will be poss be signed off tomorrow for
       another week
       thanks again to all you ratetheref members for your support and
       will update you again when possible

       update to fellow members
       after a 9 week absence due to stress and leg abcess I returned
       to work last week(Monday)at midday I was summoned to attend a
       discussion outlining the opening of the disciplinary hearing
       regarding the alleged spitting incident on 9th august
       it has been decided following the discussion and receiving a
       disciplinary letter that my version of events will be heard on
       Thursday at 2pm my dad has done a well documented transcript of
       the goings on and describing how due to my autism Its impossible
       to me to do the alleged offence
       this will be presented and hopefully we should get a result
       fri/mon which is either not enough evidence no case to answer a
       written warning or the boot any result and I'm then poss going
       to the docs to be signed off with stress poss then appeal if I'm
       so say guilty and get a warning
       the support from my fellow ratetheref members is appreciated
       very much
