As someone with functional autism, I like working remotely. In my case, working in an office is indeed a broken way to work. For me, the benefits of remote work are: 1. A greater ability to focus and be as productive as possible. 2. Greater control over my schedule. 3. A much better work/life balance. I love being around my wife and kids and don't want or need social interactions with people from work outside of work hours. It is very rare (three times in my 30+ year career) that my work friendships cross over into my personal life. 4. By working remotely, I have been able to recover two hours of my life per day by not commuting. 5. I was able to get rid of one of my cars, since I don't need it for commuting to work. This saves me a ton of money in insurance, repairs, gas, maintenance, etc. It's also my small contribution to the environment. Having been forced to work in an office for most of my career, I can empathize with people who need the type of interpersonal relationships an office provides in order to function their best. I'm sure those people are struggling with remote work the same way I struggled with being in an office. We're all different and have different needs. I doubt a one-size-fits-all approach will ever appeal to everyone, regardless of what it is.
