Is “raging asshole” a form of neurodivergency? If so, I know quite a few.

hahaha funny enough the biggest assholes I've worked with were very functional human beings.

Probably Anselmo. He’s so out of touch.

His monologues when he looses track of the meeting, agenda, audience, space and time itself make it obvious too.

Yep. CCO calls it his ‘tism whenever he gets really hung up on something. He speaks of it often.

I firmly believe most agency are autistic.

- Poor communicators
- Has obsessive interests like boats, cars, money
- Does not respond to their name
- Constantly throw fits when they don’t get what they want immediately
- Repeats words or phases over and over EX: “We leverage disruptive AI…we leverage disruptive AI…(repeat)”
- Unusual mood or emotional reactions
- Hyperactive, impulsive behaviors
- Are often aggressive when minor changes occur

Openly? Don’t know any. I’m AuDHD but I would NEVER disclose it because I believe it would open me up for discrimination and harassment and really awkward and uncomfortable questions and situations I would really rather not have to deal with. I‘m far from the only one. Lots of other neurodivergent people feel the same way.
I never disclose disability when filling out applications or anything like that. I don’t want to be in any sort of lists to classify me as such. Friends would say I was paranoid until RFK came along with his ideas of putting us all in “wellness camps” along with all the other crazy misinformation he’s been saying about autistics.
Having said that, I do think there’s a ton of undiagnosed ADHD and to a lesser extent, autism in creative departments.

This is exactly what prompted me to wrtie this. I'm the same... however I feel that hiding also comes with it's sort of trouble.

I just picked up a new freelance gig after coming out (again 😮‍💨) but professionally and they're really respecting my pronouns! They did a whole thing where they're having people add their pronouns to their email signature too 🥰

They never make a deal out of it and if they mess up they correct and move right along. They're from the Midwest and some of the team is older too so its really nice 😅

Just wanted to share the good news and say it very much is possible to have people respect them☺️
