Dear experts, I would like to know what is your opinion on descriptive writing. I realised that writing something descriptively can be seen as one of the worst qualities as an writer (e.g., writing a college assignment). However, I understand that sometimes we have to write something descriptively to inform some readers about an unfamiliar subject (e.g., a flying car assembly tutorial, a menu in French, or a Youtube video about aliens). So, my question is should human beings always need to be vigilant about their surroundings and be so critical about everything? Aren't people eligible to have a moment to lay back and write some descriptive things that makes mutual understanding possible?
What is your say? What is important to make such a judgement like that?

What is neurodiversity? How can employers make their workplaces more neurodiversity-friendly?

The word neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, but it is often used in the context of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD or learning disabilities. The neurodiversity movement emerged during the 1990s, aiming to increase acceptance and inclusion of all people while embracing neurological differences. Through online platforms, more and more autistic people were able to connect and form a self-advocacy movement. At the same time, Judy Singer, an Australian sociologist, coined the term neurodiversity to promote equality and inclusion of "neurological minorities." While it is primarily a social justice movement, neurodiversity research and education is increasingly important in how clinicians view and address certain disabilities and neurological conditions.
