Hi, thought I’d pop over to my Reddit friends and ask for some advice about a colleague from work. 
She’s 18, and recently told me that she has Autism, she told me accidentally but I think I kind of knew it already. She’s a lovely girl, very quiet and awkward. She’s a newbie at this job and has gotten into a special routine. She’s told me that her Autism (among other disorders she has) doesn’t affect her ability to do her job BUT I do watch her every now and then while she’s working and I’m noticing a few issues. Just little things where she’s in her own little world, won’t speak (in this job we need to speak to people constantly), she gets upset easily too.
Now the main thing that worries me is I don’t want her to get overwhelmed or upset at certain times. I’ve seen her upset once and it took her over an hour to calm down. It was lucky that I was there to help a little. The bosses at work don’t know about any of this and I told her to tell them about it but she’s refused. I know it’s none of my business if she wants to tell anyone or not but being in a workplace, I’d at least tell the person that hired me. Am I wrong? 
Just need other people’s thoughts please.
