ABSTRACT
The review for my second year in my tenure-track job was shocking; not because it was overwhelmingly negative but because instead of a perfect score of 5 (teaching) 5 (scholarly activity) and 5 (service), I received one demarcation – in service. The university committee suggested that I “get more involved” and “strengthen my service initiatives” as I moved toward tenure. It was at that moment that I crumpled, devastated. For those in my life not in academia, this seems like a perfectly acceptable job review; many would suggest that my panic and devastation were attributable to my neurodivergencies. I was just being crazy.
