People on here who read a lot of graphs, how do you like the graph-creator to approach your colorblindness?
Hi! I'm a non-colorblind Data Analysis student with ADHD and probably Autism. Being that I have 1 or 2 fairly profound disabilities that affect my work every day, I'm quite cautious and have a bit of anxiety around treating other disabled people fairly and in a way that doesn't make them feel singled out.
I wanted to make sure that going into my career I'm not making it awkward or otherwise disruptive for colorblind people who have to interact a lot with the graphs I'll be creating.
With that being said, I was thinking that it'd be best to send out an email to everyone asking them personally one-on-one if they are colorblind and if so, would they like it known by the rest of the team. That way when we're all sitting in a boardroom together and looking at accessible graphs and the boss says 'uhhhh can you change the color to the company colors please' (which is a mildly-nightmarish scenario for me), it won't cause any issues when I tell them that the graph is set up to cater for all people with all kinds of eyes.
Am I making too much of this or is this the right way to do it? Are there other suggestions you have? And do you ever feel like you'd rather your colleagues didn't know you were colorblind?
