what kinds of accommodations? I’m surprised SWE was more flexible considering the cognitive demands

Generally I have to split up my work hours. Very hard for me to wake up in the morning and be productive by a 9 to 10am stand-up. I mostly cant start work until 2 or 3pm most days. Also naps. Scheduled and on my calendar as busy time that I cannot be contacted. When it comes to prod support I make it clear that if there are days Im struggling harder than normal, I may need a backup

Unironically for a lot of narcoleptics we can suffer from delayed circadian rhythm disorders as well so interestingly my brain is more awake at say 11pm than 11am.

Like naps when you need them. Remote jobs are maybe more likely with SWE.
