A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.
Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.
Please be respectful. General niceness guidelines apply - formal rules will be added later if necessary.

That's what the neurotypical execs want and it's stupid as hell
I worked a remote call center position pre-COVID alongside on-site coworkers and we always beat the on-site people, consistently
Neurotypical people also seem to care far more about "workers being worked" than "work being done".
To the point that I've had multiple superiors outright stand against automation of certain tasks "Because then the workers would be left twiddling their thumbs with nothing to do."
"Idle hands are the devil's tools." type of nonsense.
I'd rather have more automation and recreation, please. But no, these men want a captive audience for big-boy story-time.
It sounds like their concern was that automation leads to less labour requirements and eventually potential lay-offs. If you can automate 20% of the work you only need 80% of the original team to get the job done.
In a non-retarded society, people would be enabled to live comfortably when laid off due to productivity increases.
(Neurotypicals are fucking retarded. Who caused the climate disaster? Them. With their "quirks" of being competitive, manipulative, productivity obsessed short-sighted monkeys.)
But no, if you don't have a job you don't deserve to eat, so work hard at something. Anything. Even if it's actively harmful or just not that important. You just need to be occupied.
So instead people have to compete hard in much less important fields (like creative industries, for example game devs during crunch). Or marketing and manufacturing directly harmful things. There's a shortage of focus, not a shortage of workers.
Instead of spending time actively making shit worse, it seems better to me to just fucking chill.
I took part in turning tons of steel into decorative flower beds just a couple months ago. They're ugly as fuck, sheets of steel literally made to get rusty. So fucking productive of us! Good fucking job, yeah? Fuck this shit, it's so stupid. There's not a single adult in the room.
I think that accurately describes the fight for Universal Basic Income.
In my opinion, we should be fighting over luxuries, not necessities.
It's almost like the entire point of automation is to make all of our lives easier and not just the bosses wallet heavier
The point of automation is what we make it, as a democracy. Right now the point absolutely is enriching the few and discarding the rest.
