Jonathan Malesic details this in the New York Times guest essay “Mystudents are not ok,” in which he discusses dwindling student performance and the perpetuationof poor study habits generated during the online years2. Keshvarz points out that one of severalshortcomings of total online education includes the lack of discipline and inefficient time usage3,which compliments Malesic’s viewpoint on the development of bad habits. However, theinstructors in this department have noticed a deeper issue that became apparent through Covid-19 and post-Covid-19 instruction: a lack of quality control in terms of course consistency andstudent retention of knowledge.

Applying thematic analysis, we identified how neurodiverse individuals share job-related concerns and seek advice from community members. Our results show that most job-related posts are classified as having a negative or neutral sentiment. Furthermore, this analysis ofsocial media content is particularly relevant to graduate courses on Information Representation,Processing, and Visualization, as it encompasses the entire analysis pipeline, from data collectionto visualization, and serves as a valuable case study or project example for students to apply thetheoretical concepts learned in these
