In this first part of a two-episode conversation, you'll meet Kayla, Shana, and Miranda - three successful working professionals who are navigating neurodiversity at home and in the workplace. All diagnosed with ADHD and two formally diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder as adults, they share their stories of their formative years, what a correct diagnosis meant to their lives and their wellbeing, and how they are speaking up and speaking out to raise awareness on the importance of belonging and inclusion.
Additional information: Around 4.4% of the U.S.’s adult population is estimated to have ADHD, and roughly 2.2% with ASD—and that’s just for those who have been diagnosed, according to this article in Psychology Today.
"An added layer of difficulty for adults with suspected ADHD and/or autism is that researchers are beginning to see a striking amount of comorbidity—or co-occurring diagnoses—between the two."
