Workplaces That Work, Part 2: The Hidden Rules of Work Workplace expectations are not always written down. Knowing when to speak, how directly to disagree, or what someone means by “Can you look at this?” can involve considerable guesswork. In this solo episode of Neurodivergence Matters, Stephen Harrison explores how that uncertainty can create additional effort for neurodivergent adults. Part two of the three-part Workplaces That Work mini-series examines informal rules, the demands of meetings, and the difference between genuine professional requirements and preferred social styles. Stephen shares a personal experience of having his ability to influence judged through small talk, then considers how clear requests and effective delegation can give people more room to contribute. The episode offers practical reflection for people receiving instructions and those giving them. For a written exploration of these ideas, the companion Thrival Coaching article, Communication Differences at Work: Making Hidden Rules Clear, brings together the key distinctions and practical considerations.
