Assume you have permission to exist my guy
unless otherwise explicitly stated. “its okay to accommodate yourself” means Without Permission from Anyone who isnt yourself. im self-diagnosed auDHD and work in a pretty loud environment, and one day i just showed up, with my fidget jewelry + noise canceling headphones, and
1) only the coworkers i had to work with directly had anything to say
2) “the loud noises are overwhelming today, im gonna prioritize solo work” was all the explanation i had to give and just meant i got more to do in the back, by myself (heaven!)
3) a coworker (also on the spectrum) was shocked and said along the lines of wishing theyd realized that was an option
technically it wasn’t an option until i made it one.
so! results may vary, give yourself accommodations, and dont be afraid to set boundaries or fuckin quit
