Neurodivergent Professionals Are Not Occupying The Corner Cubicle Anymore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The workplace was never built for anyone to feel at home.It was built for a specific performance of competence — eye contact, spontaneous small talk, internal politics read in real time, that particular tension of disagreement that’s almost impossible to describe unless you’ve sat in the room for it.Then came remote and AI-assisted work.

The broader wellness market economy is booming. Wearables have become a visible part of it. You'd assume that boom touches everything it's attached to. It doesn't.

Old solutions don't solve new problems. Just like kids outgrow their parents' plans.Somewhere, a parent is grieving a meticulously planned, socially perfect future their kid never actually wanted. That same person is looking at their kid's calloused palms, feeling deeply disappointed. It didn't turn out how they planned — they'd pictured them studying hard, going to university, following a linear career path.
