Descriptions of autistic folks as having "trouble in social situations" but all my autistic friends get along great with each other in their social situations. This reads like all the "introverted people just need to learn small talk" instead of having articles where "extroverted people just need to learn to be quiet". Most of my friend AND professional colleague groups are filled with neurospicy folks. And we seem to get along just fine thank you very much. Anyhow. I imagine this isn't new to many folks here in the fediverse... Don't mind me. Just falling into a new research dive. - This research dive feels very meta, by the way.

Does anyone have any resources for managing neurodiverse people at work? I have an autistic+ADHD pal who needs support and adjustments made in how they work (e.g. better ways of tracking hours, trouble with being interrupted during a task, looming existential dread at unplanned meetings and most of all difficulty articulating needs) and it would be great to send them something they can show their manager.

Something funny I realised in the last few years is that I've internalised the way that JD from Scrubs tilts his head off to one side to daydream, but instead of daydreaming it's better process or imagine something that someone is saying 😅

I'd probably say my use of my blog to record info for future me - I technical blog about a lot of things that end up saving me time in the future as I just need to vaguely remember if I've done it before and I can look up my articles. Helps that a tonne of other people gain value from my blogging too!
