This is excellent. Love the distinction about different types of stuck - "productive discomfort" and "unproductive stuckness" - and the different approaches they need.

It is bizarre but also weirdly satisfying to find the tiny little sliver that works 😂

I can make it scroll if I put my finger on the very far right of the profile blurb (as well as anywhere on the posts below). How odd.

I think the best time to say is if they offer you the job. You could say "I'd love it if I could do one day in office per fortnight". They decide whether to say yes or not. Unless one of the application or interview questions is "Can you do one day per week?" in which case you'd have to say then.

Was going to point out that that's because 1995 was only a couple of years ago but then I realised that you were making a joke about the title 😂

Picture of people. Text saying "Quarter of 11-year-olds have below than expected reading skills. ITV news".

And what about their writing skills? (I know this is a typo but it still made me laugh).

Love the word and concept of "neurodignity".

What’s the Truth About Empathy and Autism? Recent research shows autistics may empathize a bit differently than neurotypicals, but they still feel all the feels. A psychiatric nurse practitioner and mother reveals how.

When autistics feel empathy, it generally doesn’t “look” like neurotypical empathy. Don’t expect autistics to “look” empathic.

"Presuming autistics are competent to understand and feel deeply offers neurodignity, a great gift."
