Don\u2019t be afraid to unfollow someone or snooze posts from a friend.

Considering the lens of neurodiversity can be helpful for understanding this. Maybe you found yourself frustratedly typing \"per my last email\" in an office communication, perplexed about how a colleague or client doesn't seem to understand your very clearly written email.\nConsider this. Visual information processing isn't everyone's strength. Perhaps a quick call could make a world of difference. Or how about including a video or voice message with your email? And this technology exists! Simple steps like these can make your work environment more accessible and bring out the best in everyone.\nTula Consulting is on a mission to help organizations build more neuro-inclusive products and work environments. Tula does this by bringing curious minds to solve curious problems.
