I have been in my job a couple of months now and unknowingly ate a mint quite loudly. I have this disease so I understand what noise does to a person but my male boss got so annoyed he said he wants to punch me in the face. Why couldn’t he walk away and say something like the noise is a trigger. As someone with it, of course I understand and I said that but his comment still took me by surprise and shocked and upset me. I guess even with having this disease we aren’t always aware of the noises we make. People with this disease aren’t automatically quiet but I still think saying that to your female employee is taking things too far.
