Autistic adulting workplace drama? In this raw ramble on Adulting with Autism, host April (autistic OT) chats with psychologist John O'Brien, Ph.D., on beating rudeness, microaggressions, and burnout for neurodivergent wins. From "Bowling Alone" fragmentation (social media, politics, pandemic) to employer policies that actually work, John shares why incivility costs billions ($2B/day!) and how to bridge neurotypical-neurodivergent gaps without coddling.

Transcript gems: Microaggressions for autistics (directness misread as rude), inclusive training (not just anti-bullying—accountability for leaders), healthcare burnout death spiral (COVID isolation + staffing shortages), and mentoring revival (disclose if safe, accentuate strengths). For autistic young adults navigating jobs, parents spotting toxic vibes, or OT squad fighting turnover, this is your 'what the actual?' toolkit—no psycho-babble, just science-backed civility rehab.
