I was gonna ask this too. I've heard that some employers in the UK (perhaps in the Netherlands too) are actually explicitly asking for ND people in their job listings.

I heard (but haven’t actually checked because squirrel) GCHQ in the UK were actively recruiting ND people.

They always have done this, even before there was a wider understanding / acceptance of neurodiversity (e.g. at Bletchley Park)

Anything that is more about talking to different parties rather than documenting and being the one to deliver. the more specialised people the better you connect, the bwtter. They will love your ability to see the patterns of the work place, your helicopter perspective. That will help them to test their ideas, to understand the concepts and what their task is all about. They will also love that you will not micro manage (as long as you dont end up hyperfocusing on their topic) and let them do their thing.

Don't be the specialist. Don't be the one that tries to have an eye on all the details, all the numbers. I tried to be an accountant for a while...

Ooh this is good. Yes I can see my ability to absorb wikipedia coming in useful here.

How do you think I should prepare myself for a role like this qualification-wise? I'm interested in STEM but the thought of picking one niche (say, chemical engineering) and devoting myself to it really hurts.

Also I can see this being useful in startups, right?

Try starting with not blaming muslims for all of your problems

parent

[–] Redruth@feddit.nl 1 point 2 years ago (1 child)

There are so many more comments you made about muslims and inhumanised gazans but I'm not sharing each of them cause I just noticed your account is a day old. So yeah don't reply to me troll.
