Spot on article. A bit of a whinge. Have "worked" continuously for thirty+ years in IT because I am wired for it. It has never been about the paycheck. But I have yet to see a company that is neurodivergent friendly in all those countries I have worked before. If they say they are, most times it's just tokenism. Worst culprits are Asian companies, HR and upper management. So I quit, get kicked out or forced to move on. These environments are always never designed for someone different. And when you stand alone, you become an easy target. p.s never tell your colleagues that you have never "worked" a day in your entire life because they will misinterpret it as being a miscreant and not because you love what you do.

What do you mean by Asian companies? Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai companies have very different cultures. As far as as I known East Asian cultures are less expressive than the US. Being blending in and not drawing too much attention to oneself is often seen as a virtue, whereas in the U.S., standing out and asserting oneself is more encouraged. Indians are different though.

Ps. Most people will take your words at face value and dismiss them.
