Ask HN: Is remote work beneficial for neurodiverse individuals?

I'd say it's about equal to, or maybe a slight improvement over, the the "team room" I was in before the open office where it was me and ~10 other engineers all working on generally the same categorical area of a product (in my case the hardware team).

The only thing that I could see possibly being an improvement would be an even smaller, very quiet room that is located within walking distance of my home where only my direct sub-team mates and I sit, they're all people I like, and we all have good "when it's okay to talk" etiquette.

I feel like that would be an incredibly hard thing to arrange. So, fully remote, working from home, seems to me to be the next best option.

I'd say that it can be a wonderful experience, so it is worth trying.

I work with software development.

I can't concentrate very well around other people and specially open office environments with lots of noise. So I only go to the office for meetings and work from home most days.

My efficiency a lot better when working from home. I call people when I want something or need information. I usually work on problems 3-4 hours at a time only taking short breaks for food or bio functions. If I need to think outside the box I can take a walk or so something unrelated to let my mind work on a solution - I often get good ideas while not concentrating on solving the problem but letting my brain do something in the background.
