Does anybody have any tips on what employers can do to help neurodivergent employees at work?

Boosts welcome.

Tap-to-enlarge emojis. What the hell is that blob?!

catnip, 1 month ago to boardgames

Went to a board game cafe for the first time and it was a lot of fun. We played:

• Mysterium Park: Meh, wouldn’t bother playing again.

• Poetry for Neanderthals: Absolutely tears-rolling-down-face can’t-breathe hilarious. Funniest utterances “tastes like brown” and “wet cheese”. Will buy this one for the niblings.

My lilac is flowering! Must remember to smell it every day because the blossom is so fleeting. 💜

This #earworm is back and this time it’s so ferocious I started humming it during a work meeting 🤐

It’s tulip-tastic in my garden right now!

Pot with forget-me-nots, red tulips and lilac tulips.
Three red tulips and a pink double tulip. With some dandelions keeping it real.

There’s a petition to save the Electric Cinema in Birmingham. It’s the UK’s oldest working cinema.

Random musing about language and labels.

What if we discover there are more ND folk than NT folk. Will we have to switch the labels? 🙃

I am likely ND, but not officially diagnosed yet.

Treated myself to this when I was sick last week. I can’t afford the bigger packs, but was glad to discover a smaller pack of cherry blossom, which I love 🩷 🌸 🍒

For everyone else who struggles with grey days, this from False Knees cheered me slightly.

H/t @farrer for the intro to False Knees.

@ivory Hi, I used to enjoy browsing the trending posts on the Search tab. Since you’ve changed it to Explore, I only get a few (about 12) toots on the Posts tab 😢

I’d like to request a new Facebook reaction: AI.

Stupidly got sucked into a political conversation with a family member and still feel traumatised by the conversation. I’d even bought earplugs to wear to stop me being tempted to join in and managed to avoid it until this morning 😔. It’s much worse being single because I have no one to back me up. It’s the whole family against me.

I wondered why I woke up diagonal. Absolutely typical!

He’s technically “not allowed” in my bedroom at night, but he sneaks in when I get up to use the bathroom and I’m too groggy to kick him out!

Sharing for the frequency percentages, not the Japanese lesson. I mean I instinctively knew the order, but I’ve never seen percentages assigned!!

Also, I don’t think I’ve ever said “seldom” in my life.

Last full day of my November winter sun hol, you can unmute me soon!

My favourite jewellery shop was closed, which is probably for the best otherwise I would have spent ALL MY MONEY. I’ll be back though.

Two 3D kites a few inches off the sandy beach. One is a big round pufferfish with a pink and purple pattern, the other is a large cartoon-like crab with a friendly face, it’s yellow and orange.
My shadow on a sandy beach, with a lighter shadow from a kite above me (not seen), which has two very long tails.
