Summary
Neurodivergent employees (e.g., autistic) find open-plan offices highly draining, but formal accommodation processes require disclosing their condition to untrustworthy employers, often resulting in insufficient adjustments that only address a fraction of the problem. This forces a choice between disclosing and being labeled, or facing performance degradation, with no solution that allows them to keep optimal remote working conditions without risking their career.
