Session Description
In tech, some of the most innovative minds think differently – and that difference is often misunderstood. People with ADHD, Autism, or High Sensitivity bring unique strengths like deep focus, pattern recognition, creativity, empathy, and sharp intuition. Yet many workplaces still see neurodivergence as a challenge, rather than recognizing it for the powerful asset it truly is. Drawing from lived experience and years of organizational consulting this Ignite Talk challenges that mindset and reframes neurodiversity as a competitive advantage in business.
