The Correct Mug.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It\u2019s Autism Acceptance Month<\/a>, and\u2026 I am that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not something I\u2019ve been secretive about. And I\u2019ve tended to talk about challenges I deal with related to it<\/a>, in part because I\u2019m frequently talking about accommodations, and those are usually accommodating challenges. It\u2019s not usually \u201cHow do we accommodate this ability to quickly switch between brand voices?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also reluctant to bring the whole \u201cautism is a superpower\u201d discussion into a professional context. (I don\u2019t judge anyone who does<\/em> view autism as their<\/em> superpower \u2014 your neurodivergence, your business \u2014 but it comes with a little too much built-in Kryptonite for me to see it as mine.) So frequently, \u201cHere\u2019s why you should hire autistic people\u201d-type articles end up more \u201cBecause they have Rain Man<\/em> abilities that can be useful to you\u201d than \u201cBecause they can be valuable team members with valuable perspectives<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THAT SAID. Being autistic isn\u2019t exclusively a misery and a thrash. I have strengths I can tie back pretty tightly to my personal qualities and\/or some of the challenges I\u2019ve had to overcome. And these are some of they.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengths I can tie back pretty tightly to my own personal qualities and\/or some of the challenges I\u2019ve had to overcome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For instance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the right words<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"A
A correct mug.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Obviously, a crucial strength for a copywriter. Language was my first special interest \u2014 I\u2019ve always been a reader, I\u2019ve always been a writer, and I\u2019ve always been fascinated with the way words are used and the various etymologies, connotations, and implications. There\u2019s a real sense of satisfaction in knowing there\u2019s exactly<\/em> the right word for what I\u2019m trying to express, and being able to find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not about finding the fanciest word \u2014 usually, the fanciest word isn\u2019t the one that\u2019s going to really connect with people. But, y\u2019all, there\u2019s a difference between time<\/em> and moment<\/em>, calm<\/em> and soothe<\/em>, acceptance<\/em> and awareness<\/em> (ahem), and the difference might be subtle, but subtle things make a huge impact with your audience. And when something is Wrong, linguistically or otherwise, I can literally feel it across the back of my neck and shoulders \u2014 my trapezius muscles are surprisingly skillful editors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, yeah, the same tendency that has me stockpiling cobalt-blue glass cafe mugs because they are the Correct Mug is the one that makes me an extremely effective copywriter. Go figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Side effect: Puns. Sorry, y\u2019all.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the little details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m an all-pro riffer. I love concepting sessions \u2014 it\u2019s like creative playtime with the rest of my creative friends, and I get paid to do it<\/em> \u2014 and I love being able to jump in with, \u201cY\u2019ALL. Y\u2019ALL. WHAT IF WE\u2026\u201d It comes back down to the subtleties, and I\u2019m all-pro at the tiny details and subtleties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often have to dig myself out<\/em> of the tiny little details, of course, because there are definitely times when the weeds are not a helpful place to be. But I always make notes, because those details will be useful eventually. \u201cY\u2019all, that needs to be a dude calling his mom\u201d is what makes the client cry, and I know that for a fact<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picking up on new brands, industries, and subjects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ain\u2019t no deep dive like an autistic deep dive, \u2018cause an autistic deep dive don\u2019t stop until you realize you\u2019ve missed several meals. What starts as a new brand or industry can easily turn into a research K-hole for me, learning All The Things, and then All The Related Things, and by the time I come out of it, I\u2019m damn near fluent in your industry and I super<\/em> duper need to pee. Ever wonder what it\u2019s like to be<\/em> a special interest? If you\u2019ve paid me to write for you, now you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the subject of brand voices, and at the risking of bringing down the mood: Like many autistic people, I had trouble coming up with a personal sense of identity growing up (and, honestly, since). And that meant trying on a lot of other<\/em> identities to see if anything fit. That was the perfect warmup for being able to adopt and switch between brand voices \u2014 I\u2019ve been asked how I do it, and my answer has always been an unsatisfying, \u201c\u2026 I dunno, I just do<\/em>,\u201d but the real answer is pretty much, \u201cI inhabit your soft drink company and speak as it for a while. I mean, I wasn\u2019t being anyone else at the moment anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding people<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"A
An acceptable mug, but only on weekends.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I want to make a distinction here between \u201cunderstanding people<\/em>\u201d and \u201cunderstanding a given person<\/em>,\u201d because I\u2019m aces at the former and sometimes kind of crap at the latter. The thing y\u2019all normies can apparently do with reading subtle cues and inferring intentions and implications and stuff? Might as well be magic. It rather escapes me. But my efforts to apprehend said dark arts has led me to be a pretty apt student of human tendencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get psychology. I get motivations. I get patterns. I get communication \u2014 on a macro scale. One-on-one or in small groups, I still get kind of lost sometimes, because no one individual is going to conform to the patterns you see in an entire demographic. At audience scale, though, I\u2019m on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My organizational tendencies are both defensive, in response to my chaotic brain, and recreational, because organized stuff is just\u2026 pretty. Color-coded things, things in folders in folders, everything in the cloud so I can get to it wherever I am at a given moment. Anything that cuts down on my need to process, locate, and\/or remember things significantly cuts down on my mental exertion. To me, your project management system is just another way I can be gleefully organized about something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I mean, it really helps if you use your system effectively, too, because my Trapezius Muscles of Truth also cringe at inefficient processes when there are all<\/em> kinds of features to make it all better.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So no, not a superpower per se, but I\u2019ll take it.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

(Fun fact about the linguistic thing: I didn\u2019t actually realize I have a somewhat stiff, precise way of speaking until I saw it on my autism evaluation. I guess \u201cHa ha, you talk funny!\u201d is the one thing kids at school never got around to making fun of me for, so thanks for picking up that stray, Doc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s yet another nuanced thing: I don\u2019t want to be hired because I\u2019m autistic<\/em>. I don\u2019t want a client or employer to say, \u201cShe\u2019s a broke-brain, so let\u2019s snap her up so she can be useful.\u201d I want to be hired because I\u2019m a really, really good copywriter\u2026 and a big contributor to that is being autistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I contain multitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being autistic definitely presents a lot of challenges \u2014 I won\u2019t pretend it doesn\u2019t \u2014 but it\u2019s not without its upsides. There have legitimately been times when I\u2019ve thought, I wish they could see this the way I do, because I think they\u2019d love it<\/em>. But failing that, at least you can borrow my<\/em> creative brain, and all the creative output therefrom. I\u2019ve made my autism work for me, and now you can have me work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
