Can you help me out? I’m looking for some sources to share about workplace accommodations for neurodivergent folks, and I’d like to be able to recommend more than the typical big-magazine articles. I’d prefer to share resources that have actually been made by / with ND folks 😅
I know they’re out there. I’ve read them. I trusted my ability to search them back up again too much 😅. Do you have any links you can push my way?
I don't know if this might help -
I found it the other day after getting the old "isn't everyone a little bit autistic?" and "it's a spectrum, right?" lines.
@cybervegan@loops@actuallyautistic@actuallyadhd@neurodiversity@autisticadvocacy Them: "Everyone's a little bit autistic"
Me: "Did you have a parent who told you that you were a little bit incapable of loving them or a little bit unable to have healthy social relationships?"
This isn't just stuff #ActuallyAutistic people hear as kids (although there's plenty of messed-up shit that happens in childhood as well).
I experienced the first of these (minus the "a little bit", of course) when I was 39, and the second when I was 44. I had a severely messed-up family that did a strikingly good job of hiding how they really felt about aspects of my being ... until they knew that revealing them would be devastating.
@dpnash@loops@actuallyautistic@actuallyadhd@neurodiversity@autisticadvocacy I'm fortunate, for sure, as I wasn't diagnosed until about 15 years ago (I'm 55 now), and my family has always been quite accepting. I guess it helps that two of my sisters are ND, and I have two nephews diagnosed too. I think I'm also blissfully unaware of some jibes - I have been told several times that someone was really rude to me and I had no idea!
