🚨 Trigger Warnings
Layoffs and workplace discrimination
Burnout and stress-related mental health impacts
Gaslighting and invalidation of neurodivergent needs
Welcome to the first official Listener Interview segment on The Neurodivergent Report!
What happens when you're performing well at work—but still don't belong? In our first listener spotlight, Jad shares their story of diagnosis, challenges in the workplace, and hopes for moving forward.
In this episode, we sit down with Jad, a software engineer, world traveler, and proud member of the NeuroSpicy community.
Curious about what’s inside:
- The difference between being diagnosed and receiving treatment
- The harm of corporate “neurodiversity inclusion” without actionable steps
- What it’s like to be high-performing but still perceived as a “problem”
- The double-edged sword of masking less at work
This is a raw conversation about empty DEI efforts and being made to feel “too much” at work—and learning to live a life where your full self is accepted.
However you’re able to engage, thank you for being here.
With love,
Sarah đź’ś
