When you are prevented from playing to your strengths & measured against people with a totally different skill set it can take a serious toll. This is a common experience for #Neurodivergent people.

Did you catch our Founder on the Hidden 20 Podcast?

She spoke about the process for #Disability #Neurodiversity adjustments & how it lacks common sense.

We created the Genius Finder to make #ReasonableAdjustments and #NeuroInclusion scalable for large companies.

It doesn't have to be difficult!

As kids we are often told that in order to prepare for the "real world" we all have to behave and think the same, but in the real world our differences are so often what make us shine!

Anyone listen to BBC4 about #ADHD meds & waiting times? Some genuinely shocking statistics.
The mainstream narrative about ADHD being a trendy diagnosis has certainly contributed to this problem increasing stigma in the medical professions. Not to mention a persistent lack of funding & resources.

That feeling when you're "socially awkward" but you finally find your neurodivergent squad. Image of three colourful easter chicken toys wearing sunglasses and a hat. Logo for the Genius Finder. That feeling when you're hyperlexic and you finish reading the presentation a full ten minutes before everyone else. Photo of cute white bunny wearing reading glasses and looking at a book.

That feeling when you're masking at a conference and somehow everyone believes you're "normal". Photo of a finger with a face drawn on it. Wearing glasses and a tie. Logo for the Genius Finder.

More often that not #Neurodivergent people find success not in spite of our ND traits but BECAUSE of them.

Were you the kid always criticized for something that now is your greatest asset? Tell us about it in the comments 👇

It's been a tough year to be an ADHD-er!

The media (& some politicians) have suggested that ADHD-ers are fakers who pursue a diagnosis for the medication, while at the same time an international shortage of ADHD medication & long waiting lists have left so many without any help at all.

A 🧵...
