90% of all neurodivergents do not want to disclose at work, but unfortunately to have reasonable accommodation and systemic change, we need to collectively open up.. If you have a good relationship with your boss, this could be a first step to talk about it in a way what you personally need to thrive and “selling” it as a strength. If that’s not possible, because you feel your boss won’t accept/ understand, it also might not be an environment where longterm you’ll stay.. I’ve had that and today I choose different environments, because I personally had to learn the hard way what it means to open up in an unsafe environment. Just my experience, no guidance you have to follow. Trust your gut feeling in this case but for me it was either I was safe or I had to find another environment, because workplace toxicity is nothing you can overall change – you’ll lose.. 😶
True, for a systemic change, we need to collevtively open up. I highly confirm. But you also describe it very realistic with your experience. Either you are stay safe or you have to find another environment, because most of the workplaces of today still can’t handle neurodiversity. Or better most of the bosses can’t.
So the big question for me is, how to change this?
How is it possible to settle a stabile, open-minded atmosphere where ideas can flow without anxieties by the teamleads or other supervisors? Especially if they feel that their team could have more knowledge or some kind of intelligent then themselves. I have this question for a long time now, but no answer.
