Your preferences, in your words. Nothing here is a diagnosis or a disclosure, and you decide whether anyone else ever sees it.
Contribution should not be measured only by who speaks fastest in the room.

Making meetings easier for different communication styles
Short guidance you can pass on to a team or manager.
For teams and managers
- Send agendas in advance.
- Make it clear when input is wanted, and on what.
- Allow written contributions as well as spoken ones.
- Permit follow-up after a meeting.
- Avoid rewarding only the fastest speaker.
- Use chat and hand-raise functions where they are available.
- Pause before moving to the next agenda item.
- Confirm decisions in writing.
- Avoid unnecessary phone calls where an email would do.
- Do not read a delayed verbal response as a lack of knowledge.
