Hey all!

We have a new CodeNewbie Podcast episode coming out tomorrow about neurodivergency and we thought this would be a great opportunity to discuss accommodations in the workplace!

Here is our link to where you can find our new podcast episode, which premiers tomorrow with our guest Frankie Nicoletti!

For those who aren’t familiar, neurodivergency or neurodiversity is a nonmedical framework that is used to describe folks who have differences in cognition/brain function than other folks. This term was built around the autism rights movement and the social model of disability and can be used to describe folks with autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, Dyslexia, and other learning disabilities and conditions.

So, my question for you all is for my neurodivergent (and neurotypical too!) folks out here— what accommodations do you have in place at your work or in your workflow that help you mitigate burnout, overstimulation, etc. ?

For myself, as someone with OCD and ADHD, I have a a bunch of different strategies that I use to keep myself feeling my best. I will share them below, and would love to hear what everyone else finds helpful in the discussion!
