I don’t see it as offensive, but English isn’t my first language either.
I don’t think we have a term in Swedish for “on the spectrum” we would instead say NPF, Neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättning / funtionsvariation which means “Neuropsychiatric disability / functional variation”.

I do get a little bit annoyed tho when people hesitate or feel uncomfortable to use the word autism, as if it would be a slur. But I understand they don’t want to step on my or anyone else’s toes.

Aah okay! Thanks!

Understandable, thanks

Wait, am I reading correctly that it has no perfume?

Have you happened to see any with no or truly mild perfume? I’ve been looking on and off through the years without finding any

Same! One day I want to travel there and look at it in person

In sweden we have a statue of an old lady using her handbag as a weapon

Those sound like normal things. At least where I live it’s considered weird not to drink alcohol and not having sex.
What do you consider obscene movies?

I’ve been told multiple times things like:

• if there is a tiny misspelling or wrong grammar it would look like I don’t care for the job.
• the employee knows if the letter is unique, they know by how it’s written.
• the application must stand out from the crowd, nearly everyone looks identical and uninteresting.

Side note: For a while, I had a red panda drawn on my cv in a desperate attempt to be unique, I was quite proud and everyone said it was good. A few years later I think it’s ugly af and I even feel a bit of shame for using it. It feels like everyone lied about it looking good.

I hope the second one will calm down as I get used to being in this system and I know how it will be. I’m having a “start-up” meeting next week.

I think it’s about how perfect and unique each application has to be. But there is only so much variation I can make.
I also think it’s about the bureaucracy itself, if something goes wrong I should have known. Always. because we don’t have civil service liability (as I understand it).
It’s like this whole thing gives me anxiety.

But that are two different things, are they not?
