I post about creative stuff, my day & #dogs & #ADHD (the pros & cons) it's #NeuroDiverse not neurodiminished. Surprising how many in creative / tech now have diagnosis.
I believe in hope, in optimism, in learning from our mistakes, adapting, innovating, improving. I like to post about interesting advances, about beneficial things we can, or could do, at individual or large scale.
I like to follow lots of different people. It can be good for keeping a bit of my scrappy european languages skills together too. Also I intensely disliked Twitter's unheard serfs vs broadcasting overlords model of low follows but high following (for post visibility) it seemed sort of arrogant & elitist.
Everyone matters. I profoundly ❤️ that #Fediverse leaves air in the room for the quiet ones, the shy ones, the awkward ones. Sometimes I can talk to a room, sometimes I'd rather watch from the sides, depends on the day or setting.
That's probably enough for most people, I might add more below.
Neurodiversity is probably beneficial for groups of humans as it brings different behaviours from the fore, which are different from the Neurotypical crowd.
This leads to new opportunities for everyone.
#ADHD & autism aren't disorders, they are syndromes or variances.
I've always been interested in technology & design ever since my teen years, so having the opportunity to work for a company in that field would be an honor.
Since I have an official autism diagnosis under my belt, I'm willing to work through obtaining any necessary accommodations with future bosses & managers to ensure that I can be a highly productive employee.
NOTE: My resume is currently a bit out of date, but I will make it available for anyone to read as soon as it's fully updated.
If anyone has any questions and/or would like to offer me an interview, my DMs are always open for recruiters.
P.S. Any boosts on this toot are greatly appreciated! 💜
Every now and then I remember something I enjoyed doing as a kid, and I'm shocked nobody realised I was autistic.
Like i remember my mother trying to coax me not to draw floor plans of places we were because it was so weird it embarrassed her.. but nobody thought to ask why a 6 year old was not only obsessed with drawing floor plans, but also had the spatial reasoning to do so?
I'm particularly interested in #choice and problem architecture and #systemic cognition: how different behavioural and cognitive designs interact with sight, and imagination to produce #judgments, #decisions, and #creative insights and impact behaviours.
My limitless desire for information always gets hindered by my very limited memory.
There's nothing like the ADHD experience of going to google something and immediately forgetting what you were going to search so you have to look through your recent apps to find whatever triggered the thought, but then get distracted in the apps, then just rinse and repeat.😩
One kid had a party this morning and the other wanted to go to ikea to look at desks for their computer.
Once we were all together again I mentioned that we were probably all overwhelmed and needed quiet time and they agreed. We are all on devices in separate bedrooms being silent.
Is this what a functional neurodivergent family looks like?
