I wrote a thing about being #ActuallyAutistic in the workplace, and how communication norms are ableist rubbish. This is me venting my spleen about an awful training thing I did yesterday.

In "Berufsschule" we did communication as well

And that covered much more usefuk things
Like different "models" of communication
Including a model for psycotherapy by Carl Rogers which i find useful,
Non-Violent Communication by Rosenberg, etc...

Like i find that communication training like that is actually useful in understanfing yourself and your collegues and being able to articulate complex feelings and needs, and moderate a technical discussion in a civil manner

I am glad to be retired and not have to put up with that BS. My last position as a director of a national charity involved trying to move the organisation on from wheelchairs and black skin being the focus on inclusion. Some small successes, including eliminating judgements on people based on male white middle class being a "norm" - like Thatcher being accepted as a successful woman because she performed like a man. But we never got to be inclusive with #neurodivergence

Love how the gov is pushing disabled people to work, yet they don't seem to care that work environments are genuinely hostile to people who aren't 'normal.'

I can't make eye contact. I constantly fidget. I stare everywhere but at the person who's talking to me (hello autism and possible ADHD.) I'm like you too, I'm borderline deaf and I think my left ear is worse, so I turn my head a bit so I can hear with my good side.

But I'm the problematic one. Not the ableist fuckheads.
