The Interview Process and Neurodivergent Frustrations

Описание: Last week I had my first interview since deciding to switch careers and it was a DOOZY. I experienced how the process is set up to mirror neurotypical needs and how certain requirements can jeopardize success for neurodivergent minds. We've got to make some changes to even the playing field and help companies hire a more fair representation of humans with all types of skills and abilities. 🙏🗄💼

I'm Tay, a married mom of 2 who was diagnosed with Autism at 31 years old. This was after YEARS of therapy (and all of the self tests in the world!). My diagnosis has brought up questions, frustration, doubt, but most importantly, a new level of self compassion and understanding.

I'm here to share knowledge, resources, and products that empower other neurodivergents (and their loved ones) to live freely and creatively. I'm not a doctor so please speak with your healthcare providers before implementing any recommendations I make on my channel.

Females are under-diagnosed due to lack of research. Please share any videos that are helpful to you so we can spread awareness and acceptance.
