I think this comment is pointing in the right direction. But I disagree with
E.g. today we have buckets like “ADHD” and “autistic” with some draft APIs attached
There are buckets, but I don’t know what the draft APIs would be. Unless you count “finding your own tribe and stay away from the neurotypicals” as an API.
In Europe at least, this is beginning to lead to accommodations like letting you work more from home, spend more time offline, getting a low sensory stimulation space for work and exams, skip excessive meetings, being allowed to move during meetings and work, being excused from social events, specialised tutoring, medication, therapy, etc.
Well, maybe I should have said “API in a drafting stage”, rather that an actual “draft API”, but I’d think today people tend to know these categories exist, and tend to at least to know enough to have some expectations of neuroatypical people having a [much?] wider range of possible reactions to certain things, compared to how a neuroatypical person would be expected to react, and many (most?) have at least a theoretical willingness to try to accommodate it. And then, maybe at least as importantly, given a name for the bucket and Google, people who are actually willing, can find more advice—not necessarily all equally helpful, but still.

If you know something I don’t let me know!

I believe you that in some parts of Europe this is happening, witch is good.

Yes, that makes sense. Having a bucked is defiantly helpful for finding advise.
