alt-text for thumbnail in case it embeds: it is an image of a queer flag with an infinity symbol, on a drawn wooden background with the words “autistic people mistaken for AI” on it

i have a 'non-native' name which isn't hard to pronounce but which my coworkers refused to learn, so they started calling me something akin to 'Jane Doe' in $language.

when they were told by HR they can't do that: they took to the funny 'joke' of calling me "the bot" and sometimes referring to me as 'it'. 'hey, where's the documentation on this system?' 'idk, ask the bot' my manager even got on my case about how i shouldn't 'use ChatGPT to respond to work messages' — because i wasn't using 'enough emoji'.

but i'm the immature one for thinking all the NTs i've had in my life are insufferable. ok.

That sounds like a workplace problem. What you're describing is harassment/bullying whether you're are neurospicy or not.

a workplace problem that has persistently followed me thru my entire life: at school, at home, and at every job i've had, across multiple continents.
