Konsep Inti
Mandatory in-person work poses challenges for neurodiverse individuals.
Abstrak
Mandatory in-person work can be challenging for neurodiverse individuals due to issues like inaccessibility, COVID exposure, and productivity loss. While some people may feel a closer connection and greater spontaneity in face-to-face interactions, for many neurodiverse individuals, virtual formats provide a more comfortable and accessible environment. The boundaries of time and distance in virtual meetings help disabled individuals engage at their own pace and protect them from sensory overload and health risks. In contrast, in-person conversations can feel fast-paced, high-pressured, and require a carefully crafted performance for neurodiverse individuals to participate effectively. The "magic" of meeting in person may not be magical for everyone, especially those with disabilities who find virtual interactions more accommodating.
