Actual work conversation from this week:
Project manager: So, I was thinking weโll do a version 1, and then later when we can weโll do a version 2 to add #accessibility.
Me: No. Accessibility canโt just be put off. We just need build it right the first time.

The fact that our PM is actually a great guy just makes this so much more disheartening. The โIโ in DEI stands for inclusion. Building something (a project related to DEI, no less) that excludes #disabled people is not inclusion.
@sanau Yeah, it is very depressing. ๐
Life hasn't been great lately. I probably should be reaching out more than I do though.
I plan to work on some more understanding my #autistic mind in the next few days since I feel like I've hit a wall again mentally with my life rebuilding, post-several life changing things. Going to look at Unmasking Autism book again for tasks to focus on. Healing takes such a long time!
Shall keep fighting the good fight, and hope you're all doing well.

Seems like a good time to encourage you to do something small to improve your immediate situation. Put those dishes in the kitchen. Declutter that small table. Find that one-off thingamajig and put it where it goes. Fetch a clean glass of water. Anything to catch yourself from going down that road again.
You've been down there already. You know it's no fun.
Take a pause and make something better. You will be glad you did. #selfcare
