@kaelynn_vp: Many autistic folks identify as being bottom up processors…which one are you?? 🫵🏻 #autism #autisitc #autismawareness #neurodivergent #adhd
school pushes top down processing. I had such a hard time with this as a student and I had no idea why! until now.

employers really like my "attention to detail" on my resume until I start pointing out their mistakes

That “top down” approach gave me so much anxiety. 😬 Every day I’m reminded that I may not be diagnosed autistic, but there’s a reason it’s a spectrum.

ADHD + ASD = I’m both, and no one likes it 🫣 my coping mechanism is to repeatedly point out potential issues and repeatedly suggest *actual* solutions, and when no one acts on them, I no longer feel any responsibility to improve or manage the situation 😂

when I seem to be excelling at work I tend to become more socially isolated from my coworkers. it's like they get jealous I am doing the job and not cutting corners (like I'm making them look bad or something). does anyone else feel like this at work?

Autism in the workplace is honestly such an overlooked aspect of being on the spectrum, there’s so much focus on childhood autism but navigating adulthood is rarely spoken about. I love these videos you make they really help me understand myself

I did onboarding for a job and they asked me to provide feedback on it. I sent in a list of spelling errors and misalignment with their corporate strategy... They said thanks but I'm realizing now that it's not the feedback they were looking for...

I definitely do bottom up in terms of details - but what’s strange is I also want / need the big picture. AudHD is such a contradiction

Hannah Limonci :
My managers get me to look over stuff to find little errors and inconsistencies because I am a bottom up processor. I am very lucky that they have always listened to me. One of my managers loves to give me "side quests" or "murder mysteries" when I get a few little pieces of info and off I go to find all the other information and bring back the completed thing.

This is the first time it's ever occurred to me that my bottom-up processing affects my writing process. I'm brilliant in some ways but I really really struggle with things the other published writers I know don't struggle with. Like, doing an outline early on, before I have my ideas in place--that feels like crossing a rope bridge whilst blindfolded, or sumfin

My six year old autistic son and I were watching Harry Potter and he kept pointing out little details that made no sense lol (like Harry having blood on his pants before the chess game)

how could I possibly delegate before I understand the how/why of all of the details?!

I never get promoted even though I’m alway a top performer and interview for the roles. I get told I’m cold or “not the right fit” every time.

Im problematic for asking questions and trying to prevent disasters. For standing up for my patients and making sure things are done correctly. I’ve been demoted, sent to HR for reporting my coworker for not doing her job and asked what I could do better to help her. 🙃 I also have demand avoidance and I loath being told what to do. I can do a better job by myself

it's funny to me because I LOVE ME SOME EFFICIENCY ---- but I only ever see true efficiency as something to be had ONCE I'VE FIXED all the small-problem details. 😩😩

If I’m the boss/organizer, I’m a top down processor bc I don’t have to worry about the minutia. If I’m on the other side of a project trying to execute someone else’s vision, I’m a bottom up processor.
