I had no idea other neuroatypical engineers wrote READMEs (I've partially written one and I've got ADHD)! That's amazing!

In terms of challenges and accommodations, I find open plan offices a double-edged sword. Easy to get distracted by conversations with colleagues, but also easier to get help if I'm struggling with a problem and sometimes get back on track if I'm getting distracted by stuff on my laptop (like I start looking at the news or something like that).
