We're often told that inclusion starts with awareness and empathy. But what happens when the people we love most are the same people our systems would quietly screen out? 

In this episode, Dr. Theresa Haskins explores the uncomfortable gap between loving neurodivergent people personally and creating real opportunities for them professionally. From hallway conversations with parents and leaders to hiring rooms where "fit" often outweighs capability, she examines how workplaces continue to confuse social performance with actual potential. 

The question isn't whether neurodivergent people exist in your life. The question is whether they'd get a chance in the rooms you're responsible for.
