@housepanther @axnxcamr @wakame @26pglt @silverhuang @actuallyautistic My workplace is quite human-friendly too. It's creative services. Having seen a few different industry cultures over the years I'm amazed at how generally healthy the agencies I've worked with (as a contractor) have been ... mutually appreciative, understanding, problem-solving-oriented. That said, I am not out as autistic here and I'm not sure I can be; I don't think it would be understood. So I am remaining incognito

I would say that as long as they respect your boundaries and meet your needs, revealing a diagnosis is not needed.

Places that need medical justifications for accommodation usually aren't that great.

Help me because I need it, not because someone told you to.

My kids are often wowed by the way our company treats us. I remind them that this is worth actual money and has to be considered.

It's useless to go for a more paying job if the difference only covers the price of the therapy that's needed for working there!
