Understanding & Embracing Neurodiversity in the Workplace

Neurodiversity isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a reality for so many people in the workplace, and one that’s too often misunderstood. Join us for an open and honest conversation about what neurodiversity really means, the challenges many face at work, and how we can all do better.

Our speakers, Sarah Faulstroh and Dylan Matheison-Dodd, both bring powerful lived experience to the table – with Sarah being late diagnosed with ADHD and Dylan growing up with autism. Together, they’ll share personal insight, practical advice, and challenge the status quo around neurodiversity.

Key Discussion Points

  • The common myths and misconceptions surrounding neurodiversity
  • Strengths and challenges neurodiverse individuals often face
  • How organisations can provide meaningful, practical support
  • The shift in support from education to the workplace – and why it matters
  • Microaggressions, everyday ignorance, and how to challenge them
  • The different experiences of early vs late diagnosis, including the emotional impact of narrative rewriting
  • Tips and advice for neurodiverse individuals – whether you're job hunting or navigating your current role

Whether you're in HR or wellbeing, a team leader, or someone with lived experience of neurodiversity, this session is for you.
