    Because I’ve noticed, between my husband and I who both have shown symptoms of ADHD/autism, that I’m better able to modulate my tone of voice and have better interpersonal interactions at work, and he has had similar issues to another commenter when speaking to people at work- because he’s technically correct, he doesn’t get in trouble, but he still stirs the pot in ways that make people less willing to work with him because of the tone of condescension he takes on, without him seeming to realize it. My theory is that this is a learned/untrained behavior and is something many women are typically forced to learn to adapt and fix early on.

    Edit to add: I just realized you probably didn’t mean my question was a lack of response but rather that no one commented and that was interesting 🤦‍♀️ whoops 😅
