What? How pop culture narratives shape the perception of neurodiversity

Who? Julia Baumann, organisational development consultant systemic coach focussing on AuDHD* and giftedness.

Julia Baumann will lead us in exploring how pop culture stereotypes of neurodivergence impact self-perception, late diagnoses, and inclusion in tech, drawing from her unique journey as an AuDHD and gifted individual with over 15 years in operations and tech leadership.

Bring your perspectives and experiences as we discuss:

• What kind of neurodivergent role models are missing in media, especially for women, FLINTA, and people of color?

• How can organizations better identify and support neurodivergent talent, moving beyond stereotypical assumptions?

• What are the consequences of late neurodivergence diagnoses, particularly in professional fields like tech?

• How can we foster workplaces where neurodivergent individuals feel seen, understood, and empowered to thrive without masking?

To frame our discussion, we'll begin with the understanding that neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in human brains regarding sociability, learning, attention, mood, and other mental functions.

*The term AuDHD refers to individuals who are both autistic and have ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder).
