Es ist nichts f\u00fcr jemanden der die allmorgendliche Routine mit Aufstehen zur immer gleichen Zeit und dem Pendeln ins B\u00fcro braucht, um sich zur Arbeit zu motivieren, und der die Sicherheit eines festen Einkommens braucht auch wenn da mal einige Krankheitstage im Monat zusammenkommen.<\/p>\n<p>Auch wenn sie die Gespr\u00e4che im Kollegenkreis im B\u00fcro nicht missen m\u00f6gen damit sie die Routinearbeiten schaffen, dann ist das Home-Office auch nichts f\u00fcr sie.<\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Auf der anderen Seite, wenn man nichts nerviger findet als dummes Geschw\u00e4tz am Nachbartisch im Gro\u00dfraumb\u00fcro zur gestrigen Folge der Bergretter oder den neuesten B\u00fcrotratsch, w\u00e4hrend man sich doch viel lieber auf seine Arbeit konzentrieren w\u00fcrde, und wenn man \u00fcbersetzt weil man sich wirklich gut f\u00fchlt wenn man mit sich mit dem Dekodieren und spielerischem Umsetzen von zwei Sprachen auseinandersetzt und man sich so darin verlieren kann, dass man manchmal vergisst wie sp\u00e4t es ist oder dass man mal eigentlich was essen m\u00fcsste, dann ist das Home Office genau das richtige Umfeld.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, I\u2019m helped by the neuroatypical brain chemistry that I was born with. My official autism diagnosis came quite late in life, and although <strong>autism<\/strong>\u00a0has historically been associated with quite a negative stereotype, it also brings some benefits.<\/p>\n<p>If this thought is new to you, I recommend reading <strong>Tony Attwood&#8217;s <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tonyattwood.com.au\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=79%3Athe-discovery-of-aspie-criteria\">1999 paper<\/a> where he explores the positive aspects of an Autism diagnosis .<\/p>\n<p>In fact, more and more <a href=\"http:\/\/specialisternefoundation.com\">companies<\/a> are actively recruiting autistic people into certain technical roles that demand a <strong>unique ability to focus<\/strong> for a long time on the details of technically demanding tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of hiring people with neurodiversity include: <strong>high attention to detail, high work ethic and quality of work<\/strong>. If I tell you\u00a0<strong>I can hit a deadline<\/strong> I won\u2019t change my mind halfway through and I will have put a lot of careful thought into my estimate to make sure it is realistic. The <strong>hyperfocus<\/strong> ability mentioned above \u2014Working on tasks that require high levels of concentration for a long time\u2014is definitely one of my strengths.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, I am not unique amongst translators and in 2021 I got together with a couple of other autistic translators to form the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iti.org.uk\/iti-neurodiversity.html\">ITI\u2019s Neurodiversity Network<\/a> in an attempt to change the narrative around neurodivergence.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does neurodiversity have to do with translating?
