My work put in a bunch of new accounting rules at once, knowing full well that some of them contradict each other and others don’t cover more than the most basic cases. So I’ve got these numbers that don’t add up and I know at least some of em must be fudged, but I don’t know which ones I’m allowed to fudge and my boss keeps dodging my questions.
I’ve never really felt the need to get checked out for neurodivergence because it’s never held me back in life. But being unable to navigate these new social rules, when everyone else seems to just roll with it, got me thinking for the first time there’s something wrong with me. Puts a new spin on autism/adhd rates rocketing up - how many of the social rules around being a kid these days are the equivalent of my fudged-up spreadsheet?
