That post sounds like it’s made by exactly the kind of person I suspected, haha. My car-break-taking neurodivergent self has been accused of “rudeness” over nothing throughout my life. It’s not a work-specific thing, but a “misunderstanding neurodivergence” thing.
In response I developed a cheery mask that I wear to work. It’s provided cushion and plausible deniability when I screw up, as people are more likely to know I don’t mean any harm. But not everyone can mask, and not everyone wants to mask. It’s a shame that so many people can’t imagine others’ perspectives that we’re all forced to either work at hiding ourselves or be socially shunned.
