I"ve recently moved back to my hometown after nearly 10 years of being gone and I didn't know anyone. My manager was my first true connection back and now they are leaving in two weeks. It is going to be super hard losing the only person I've made a real connection with after coming back. I found them to be more of a friend than anything else and I am going to miss them.

It's not easy having Asperger's, I feel more upset than happy for another staff member at my work I only for two years departing for a new opportunity, I even have the worst case scenarios on who would take her place, and if they'll be just as nice as her or not.... I don't wanna suffer through someone who mistreats me very badly, but even I don't have to guts to depart from my job for a new opportunity one day because the other people I work with are just too nice to leave behind.. 😢
