Welcome to Tackle It Tuesday, a social media series where an autistic employee at AAoM (yours truly) writes workplace tips to better cope with the stresses of a working world not built for neurodiversity.
While creating the latest entry for AAoM’s social platforms, I realized that social media alone isn’t the ideal archive for all the past Tackle It Tuesday entries, as it shares space with all the other important work AAoM does. So, this blog companion was born!
This is Tackle It Tuesday’s first entry, How to Ace or Avoid the Water Cooler! Here, I talk about the questions you can ask yourself to understand how a workplace’s culture works. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Except everwhere is Rome when you’re neurodivergent, and it’s better to figure out ways to work it in your favor after learning the customs.
You can tell it’s the first entry because it went by a different name: Autism at Work. Tackle it Tuesday has a nicer ring to it, and that’s what the rest of the entries are called.
