@devxvda *some. There is no one-size-fits-all. That’s why I said ‘being required to’

@loops @devxvda @actuallyautistic @neurodivergence Right, it's the *choice* that makes it accommodating. I really like WFH, but there are times when it doesn't help me. It depends on which struggles I'm having at the time. If I need downtime, reduced commuting, or to avoid noise or people, WFH is amazing. But if I'm having trouble staying focused because of distractions at home, I need to be in the office. Being forced into any option, rather than being left the choice, reduces accessibility.

I think there's a general insight to be had here about *all* accommodations and accessibility issues. Personal choice and control over the conditions we work under is what maximizes accessibility.

@hosford42 for sure; essentially all inclusivity is about flexibility. That’s why it can be such a hard sell to businesses: flexibility requires redundancy, which is inefficient - an aberration that should not be allowed to impact profit
