I agree with the spirit of this. I just think it’s a bit heavy handed in the communication. It will be perceived as aggressive and that’s not a good look for a man that has just been accused of sexism. Getting HR involved and framing it that you need reasonable accommodation to help you work with your Asperger’s and keep from offending teammates could be a good path.
- mikece 4y agoHeavy-handed directness is a symptom of Aspberger's no? Personally I think that would be a super-power but I'm not an overly-sensitive person looking for validation of my existence at work.
- dougmwne 4y agoIt really is a handicap and not a superpower. Resources in groups are given to people that are liked, not those who deserve them. Maintaining positive relationships is the best way to secure resources. Using aggressive communication is going to shut down other people and they will not give you anything. Without resources, your work product will be limited, less relevant and likely to be discarded after you leave.
- mikece 4y agoI apologize if my lack of understand of the condition was taken as a flippant comment. Your response only bolsters the suggestion that the OP needs to assert a need for reasonable accommodation from narrow-minded prejudiced people who might interpret his actions as sexist or in any way reflective of a less than favorable view of his coworkers in general and the one in particular.
