I know that it's unsupportive and exclusionary towards ND (and other) folks to maintain an attitude in the workplace and hiring where these kinds of things are treated as requirements requirements

I'm looking for help in framing that so that others can understand it. It's one of those things that is so intuitive to me that I can't figure out how to explain why it's flying in the face of diversity and being an accommodating workplace, especially when trying to reach those folks whose reaction is "well that's how our place works, so maybe it isn't the right place for those who can't". The ones who don't understand that accommodations means changing the place, not the person 😅

Any insight on reaching that would be greatly appreciated - as would boosts to help me gather more insight 😁

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?

For me, the *most* accommodating environment is one where I can get things done "eventually" - not on a timer.

This makes finding tech work hard - the output is often sold well in advance, with a promise to deliver that logically, it feels is futile - even if you did everything in your power, weather and worse happens and can't always be accounted for.

It's even worse when folks assume my capability is the same as theirs - another thing that feels like an obvious error, from my point of view.

QR code menus suck. The #UX sucks - oh, let me just find… wait, how do I scan on this thing again? Oh it doesn’t seem to be loading. Huh, that’s odd… I’m out of service - it goes on. Is this common? Perhaps not, but a paper menu can’t experience server outages, and can be right there waiting for you.

In addition, it’s an #accessibility thing - for me as a #neurodivergent person, I really miss the ability to flick through a menu, keep my finger on a page or a couple dishes and think in a tactile, embodied way. On-screen menus get overwhelming, quick, and don’t have anything that helps me track my thoughts anywhere near as well as a finger on the item can. I’m unsure if that’s powered mostly by my #ADHD or being #ActuallyAutistic, but I’m an external, embodied thinker so I rely a lot on tactile aids.
