ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We talk with young New Zealand public sector lawyer and ADHDer Tanuvi Garimella about how she has navigated the world of work and her study.
This is a wide ranging chat that has something for everyone from neurodivergent employees, HR specialists, line managers, senior leaders, teachers and parents.
Since we recorded this episode, Tanuvi was offered and has accepted a place at the London School of Economics to study for a Masters of Laws in the 2026\27 UK academic year.
In this episode we talk about:
- Her diagnosis
- Self advocacy (and advocacy more generally)
- Understanding how you work best and communicating this with your manager
- Recruitment processes and interviews for neurodivergent employees (what we talk about, could be applied to every employee)
- A discussion about the role of psychometric and standardised testing in recruitment
- Managing your neurodivergent employees well and enabling them to flourish (Tanvui has some great examples of organisations and managers doing this well)
- And a discussion on the importance of community.
