1 reason I think there's so much pushback to the increase in Autism/ADHD diagnoses is the fear that NTs will stop being 'the norm' + that systems will need to change to not centre on NT ways of being. It's a classic case of systems protecting themselves #ADHD #Autism #Neurodivergent #SystemicAbleism

Exactly! Being autistic is who I am. The lack of understanding and accommodations--that's not inherent to autism; that's inherent to ableism.

It’s so weird when I tell people I work from home (mostly) to accommodate my disability needs (am very lucky to have a workplace that supports it) and to have people say, ‘oh things must be so nice/easy for you then’

Never a day without abled people’s nonsense.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.
