I'm compelled to attend a mandatory workshop being run by a business psychologist. Is there any evidence to show that popular psychology is invalid when applied to workers on the autistic spectrum? Because it really seems totally irrelevant and nonsensical , not to mention uncomfortable levels of sharing personal thoughts with other workers who haven't earned my respect @actuallyautistic
@foo@actuallyautistic I continue to be shocked (but somehow not surprised) that corporations are allowed to perform psychology on employees. Especially the testing, but also the crap & sometimes destructive ways these ideas are taught in business settings.
@crashglasshouses@actuallyautistic I've already done one workshop and I couldn't tell you. Some people were lapping it up and I was not loving it. Indeed I found it extremely unnatural and stressful
@foo@actuallyautistic
can't speak to evidence, but I agree, I say it every day, NT psych is not for us. When I encounter an Autist who is into it, I think of it like an infection, or at least I remind myself that Autists don't set the curriculae.

I'm trying to write that book in my blog, I guess, the Autistic critique of psychology. 🙄
