Judgement for ways of showing up (too chatty, too quiet, you don't look engaged to them, you're too informal or too blunt or speaking wrong to them)

Stating everyone is a certain type of Neuro diverse and affected by it. You just have to go along and do your work on a timely basis instead of requesting fair accommodation.

People giving feedback verbally and not writing down their thoughts so they can be captured without my (sometimes incorrect) interpretation.

# data[].attributes.body
