One additional thing to consider here is that (unfortunately) not only are interview processes not accommodating, but many work environments will be similarly unaccommodating. While many large corps have "Neurodiversity ERGs" and similar, they often just pay lip-service and don't truly have impact on the ways day-to-day colleague/cross-team interactions happen within those orgs.

Pay is important, and narrowing your requirements further doesn't seem helpful, but just something that is worth keeping in mind.

Thank you for writing this; it's an incredibly eloquently written piece, and these are the needs that need highlighting (over and over) if any of these challenges are to change. Have bookmarked for future sharing.

Yep. I can not handle fluorescent lights. Work refused to make an accommodation for me. A dark corner was all I was asking for.
Are you able to work remote?
They refused to allow that. 4 months after being forced out Covid hit…

I only work remote now to avoid the issue
