Shameless self-promotion, who else finds that terrifying?

@nickdacosta.bsky.social Great seeing you here Nick!

I did something crazy. I quit my job to start my own business and now I have a lot of extra time! #coffee #tea #connect

O you actually have followers! Teach this Padawan 😂

Good morning 13 followers!

When you think the Linkedin algorithm is messing with you but then you realise you launched your business during a heat wave so everyone is probably passed out on a beach somewhere, and I can’t even blame them ☀️

Designing a website for neurodiversity is not just thinking about colours, fonts and shapes it’s also about the process. From finding a website to completing an action on it can take many steps, something a neurodivergent brain may struggle more with than a neurotypical brain.

Presentatie afmaken in de trein

Mijn hyperfocus kicked in als de urgentie hoog is en de deadline dichtbij. Zo maakte ik vorige week 40 slides tijdens een 40 minuten durende treinreis. Ik had in de 4 dagen daarvoor nog geen 4 slides af 😅 Iets met dopamine.

October is ADHD awareness month! As someone with ADHD (though I rather identify myself as neurodivergent), I think it’s essential to change the narrative around ADHD. Instead of focusing on the cognitive impairments, we should focus on the cognitive specialisations! 😁

@rose.bsky.team Is Bluesky actively thinking about designing for neurodiversity? Would like to hear more about that!

Neurodivergent individuals often have spiky profiles

Neurodivergent individuals often have spiky profiles. They excel in cognitive abilities such as hyperfocus, making complex connections and taking action but struggle with abilities such as processing information, organising and impulsivity.

Happy to be joining Bluesky! I’m
Simone and I’m a designer and focus mostly on neurodiversity in the workplace!
