I’m neurodivergent and messages are significantly more accessible to me, especially in a work context.
I struggle to take in audio information, so if it’s important then messages are much better because I can refer back to them. If it’s not important, it’s not worth the interruption because messages also don’t take me out of my workflow because it’s asynchronous so I can read and respond when I’ve got a moment. A 5 minute unscheduled call is significantly more disruptive to me than an hour long scheduled meeting.
No matter how many times I tell my boss all of this, I get at least one unscheduled no context “do you have a minute to chat?” every single day and it’s effect on my productivity is very problematic.
