Tackle It Tuesday: Bringing or Buying a Lunch

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 Tackle It Tuesday is on lunch, both on taking and buying a lunch at work.

Packing multiple similar/same lunches at once for the whole week. If executive dysfunction is an issue, you can either ask someone else for help, or have pre-packaged food prepared for the whole week."

The image reads: " Tackle it Tuesday: Buying a Lunch If you want variety without the surprise, ask the cafeteria if they have a calendar for each weekly/daily/etc. special. That way, you can pick what days you want to enjoy something different. "
