ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode, James defines Applied Neurodivergence—a framework that shifts the ND conversation from accommodation to capability. He explores the difference between early and late diagnosis, the uncomfortable realities of how employers view accommodation, and why it's time to start talking about what neurodivergent professionals can actually deliver.

Topics covered:

What's missing from the current ND conversation

Early diagnosis vs. late diagnosis: accommodation vs. scars

The employer perspective on accommodation (uncomfortable but true)

The JP Morgan Autism at Work data

Applied Neurodivergence: definition and core cognitive operations
