Unlocking ADHD, Autism, and Other People Who May Not Think Like You With Rita Ramakrishnan

Unlocking ADHD, Autism, and Other People Who May Not Think Like You With Rita Ramakrishnan

Neurodivergence isn't about squeezing people into a chair at the same old table – it's about reshaping the table itself. Rita Ramakrishnan shares her raw journey with ADHD and autism, why late diagnoses are exploding (especially for women), and how traits like context-switching and hyperfocus can be both rocket fuel and roadblocks. She tackles the myths, rethinks performance reviews, and shows why leaders need to move from critique to curiosity. This isn't about lowering the bar – it's about building systems where different brains actually win.
