Since there is more awareness of neurodiversity, my employer was thinking about a diversity statement on website/careers page that (among other things) addresses this and maybe change the interview process a bit.

It might be just a drop in the ocean and only help a little, but I think it's a step into the right direction and I'd like to support this and encourage it.

So, #askfedi : what would actually help you (neurodivergent folks) during job interviews or at work in general? What could an employer realistically do? And what would encourage you to apply?

E.g. would a buddy help? More time/pauses? Online/(partly) written interviews? Dim lit, quiet rooms?
