@actuallyautistic

folks in the UK - have you ever used a "guaranteed interview/assessment" scheme for a job application, and ended up getting the job?

I'm weighing up "don't disclose anything until you have a job because it might put them off even if they HAVE to give you an interview" with "do everything you can to get to the interview stage then hopefully you can really impress them".

@NightlyBye @actuallyautistic i'm not in the UK, so curious what this process is.

@actuallyautistic any advice on how to tactfully tell co-workers who are excessively using Teams chat that you’re not interested in the chatter without coming across as “uncooperative", “rude", “not a team player" etc.

@actuallyautistic Do any of y'all have EXTREME heat intolerance? It's like the older I get the more I can't put up with hot weather. I've always been very "hot-natured," prefer winter over summer, etc. but this year I think my intolerance has been the worst yet. Friends are telling me how it's peak summer weather (90 degrees is comfortable?!?) meanwhile I start sweating when it's 70+ degrees Fahrenheit outside. What gives?

filmfreak75 ,
@filmfreak75@mastodon.social avatar

@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic i've never done well in heat and i grew up on the East Coast. i have always loved Autumn since it was a perfect level of chill for me.

i moved to Seattle since (27 years ago) the weather was much milder than the East Coast. and since it is gray 9 months of the year, less irritating sunlight.

but as the world changes I now have 2 air conditioners since even in Seattle the summers make it a must.

@actuallyautistic just started yet another documentary series on Jonestown (my 4th now), and while i consider movies/tv and true crime among my special interests, is watching multiple versions of something on the same topic a special interest or just a part of the master ones?

also, this new series is by far the worst so far -- very superficial. all the others have given me new information that the others had not.

@actuallyautistic i tend to work at a different (often faster and more efficient) pace than my colleagues and that leads to the perception that i am not as busy or productive since i am not appearing to follow the group way https://mastodon.social/@ApocalypseSoon/112638648980016656

TIP

If you have in-ear and over-ear noise cancelling devices, you can wear them both at the same time. Works better than 1.

@actuallyautistic Does it bother anyone else when someone folds your laundry for you? I do appreciate the effort and the intention, but half the time I have to go back and refold everything because it wasn’t folded the way I need it to be for me to put it away or organize it properly. I would rather just do all the folding myself lol. Idk, I know that probably seems selfish but it does irk me sometimes.

filmfreak75 ,
@filmfreak75@mastodon.social avatar

@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic i tend to like to fold since i find it calming -- plus when other people were in my house, they would leave stuff out and never do anything with it, so i just needed to clear the clutter

@UnCoveredMyths @actuallyautistic this is an evaluation for a parallel job to mine

the person and i are very different in style and approach whereas they are what i call "socially appropriate” and i come across as being the opposite

this has me very shaken since this is the quiet part said out loud and i ever thought i'd see this

filmfreak75 OP ,
@filmfreak75@mastodon.social avatar

@Jobob @UnCoveredMyths @actuallyautistic this is a job evaluaiton form

the examples are perceptions of behavior and that behavior is subjective to a neurotypcial mindset that is preferred to the exclusion of ignoring that there are neurodivergents among them

and while in a reasonable setting showing examples of your work being as valid, this isn't the form the subject fills out -- it's what others are filling out about them -- and that is the problem

@willaful @actuallyautistic i was looking for some passive way to disclose and stumbled upon the article -- i am still early days in my diagnosis relatively and my toxic work environment is becoming less tolerable since it

filmfreak75 OP ,
@filmfreak75@mastodon.social avatar

@ScottSoCal @willaful @actuallyautistic i briefly thought about disclosing at work to try to put them on notice that they were acting discriminatory to a person under a protected class, but realized it wouldn't change their behavior at the end of the day

@actuallyautistic i do a lot of meeting requests and receive a lot of emails that start like this:

"Good morning!

I hope you all had excellent weekends.”

I start mine like this, and because of this, am considered an asshole:

…because heaven forbid we be efficient and clear in our communication

@Susan60 @manu @actuallyautistic RTD and Moffat were great in my book.

Chibnal was obsessed with his “soft reboot” bullshit and instead of insisting not to make a big deal of the female regeneration, did the opposite.

"high functioning autism" is basically bulimia for executive functioning.

@actuallyautistic @autistics just had to change my out of office plans for tomorrow because my co-worker never told me she was going to be out and needed me to cover until now

yet i'm the asshole apparently

filmfreak75 OP ,

@EVDHmn @actuallyautistic @autistics well, working from home does allow the rage to get pressure released as the stressors occurs

however, today is just reaching a level of where i feel less in control than i am comfortable with

and the mastodon groups do help a lot since it’s nice to get validation re what i am feeling

filmfreak75 OP ,
