Ruby has ASD. It’s extremely common to be so in their own mind that people don’t acknowledge or don’t see or don’t hear what’s around them. It’s VERY very common for people on a spectrum. It’s not negligent day dreaming it’s part of their disorder/disability

Ruby please talk to your case manager/job coach about some strategies and perhaps requesting accommodations from your work place. Maybe a pager or a beeper that would alert you to some urgent matters. Also discuss with your case manager how to bring it up to management. Do they have info on your diagnosis and accommodations you might need in a work place?

it seems tho that if it was an issue before, and was brought to your attention and now again being brought to your attention...that you could make a more forceful effort to be aware of your surroundings. as someone mentioned there are safety issues, as well as customer service ones...and again, if you are out cleaning tables or something, you need to be aware of what is around you.

you tend to post these issues with a tone as if "wtf? why do they say this it's just wrong?" but it's not. and deep inside I think you know it. how many times does someone have to call your name for you to respond? in 2 different workplaces? really? I think your superiors are very patient people. more patient then I would ever be. I get it that there are issues but still..you need to put effort into your position.

Are you at a new McDonald's where you've never worked or the previous one where you got into trouble with your supervisor?
