Sometimes it amazes me what people think is an appropriate format to communicate important information.
As an example, I had an event that required a two-page PDF document to share necessary instructions and it was a nightmare for someone with ADHD.
Namely this ADHDer.
OMG! Multiple colors, no way to tell what was important from details that were informational, poor organization. It was immediately overwhelming, just from a visual standpoint, and then when I tried to consume the instructions for what was expected from me, the overwhelm became a million times worse. I ended up printing out the TWO pages and taking a highlighter to decipher the damn thing.
And because of the color scheme, I'm betting there are people with color blindness who have issues with it, too. Luckily, I don't have to deal with that because ADHD is enough.
I don't know who put this together. I don't know who approved this. But it's clear they aren't neurodivergent.
Before I got my ADHD diagnosis, I would have assumed there was just something wrong with me. Now I know it's a document not formatted/created/color schemed/laid out with people like me in mind. It's still frustrating, but at least I know it's not my fault. That's something.
