Alex Partridge: Neurodiversity, masking, and workplace inclusion

Do you A) assume everyone probably hates you? B) react impulsively to criticism? C) feel intense shame about the way your brain works? These are all things UNILAD founder Alex Partridge has felt across his life, but at 34 he was diagnosed with ADHD and his character started to make a little more sense...


In this chat with Fearne, live from the Happy Place Festival, Alex explains how his diagnosis allowed him to reframe the characteristics he had previously been troubled by, turning shame into compassion.


If you personally don’t have a neurodivergent brain, you probably work with someone, have a family member, or are in a relationship with someone who does, so Alex talks through ways you can help create an environment for them to thrive in.


Plus, there are loads of really practical coping mechanisms you can enact yourself if you’re the anxious one, or the one with ADHD.

Listen to Alex’s podcast, ADHD Chatter.
