This is probably not the first time you’re hearing that many autistic and ADHD adults struggle on the job and not just due to sensory issues, although that’s a factor for sure. The bigger problem may be something else entirely. Something that has a solution.
In this episode David Raynor tells his own story about a career path of jobs frequently won then lost and how he tired of hearing he had “so much potential.” After getting lots of failed advice from people who meant well, David turned inward and found answers. And he knows you can, too and that you don’t have to do it alone.
David talks about Professionally Neurospicy, a community for neurodivergents to get the support they need in their jobs and careers. You’ll hear David’s advice about the one thing we can do to get the satisfaction we want.
In this episode you’ll also learn:
- Why many neurodivergent careers follow a cycle of success, burnout, and starting over
- How to make better career decisions
- Why workplaces benefit when neurodivergent employees are supported to thrive
- How accommodations are actually workplace upgrades
- Managing hyperfocus without relying on willpower
- A different way of thinking about imposter syndrome
- Building the confidence to advocate for yourself at work
- What you'll find inside the Professionally NeuroSpicy community, including its Discord events, practical resources, and peer support for neurodivergent professionals
