Listener Interview: The Cost of Being Misunderstood at Work w/ Jad

Season 1 · Episode 11

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 • Duration 48:02

🚨 Trigger Warnings

Layoffs and workplace discrimination

Burnout and stress-related mental health impacts

Gaslighting and invalidation of neurodivergent needs

Welcome to the first official Listener Interview segment on The Neurodivergent Report!

What happens when you're performing well at work—but still don't belong? In our first listener spotlight, Jad shares their story of diagnosis, challenges in the workplace, and hopes for moving forward.

In this episode, we sit down with Jad, a software engineer, world traveler, and proud member of the NeuroSpicy community.

Curious about what’s inside:

The difference between being diagnosed and receiving treatment
The harm of corporate “neurodiversity inclusion” without actionable steps
What it’s like to be high-performing but still perceived as a “problem”
The double-edged sword of masking less at work

This is a raw conversation about empty DEI efforts and being made to feel “too much” at work—and learning to live a life where your full self is accepted.

However you’re able to engage, thank you for being here.

With love,

Sarah 💜

Friday, April 11, 2025 • Duration 42:11

In this episode, I’m joined by J.Q. Walker as we dive deep into the language, theory, and lived experiences that shape our understanding of neurodivergence.

We talk about how something as simple as a fidget toy can reflect a growing awareness of sensory needs... & how the way we talk about what's “normal” plays a powerful role in how neurodivergent individuals are broadly perceived and treated in society.

Defining terms like neurodivergent, neurodiversity, and epistemic injustice
Unpacking the 4E theory of cognition

Differentiating between charity work and justice work

This episode is for anyone interested in how ideas like mental health, identity, and societal norms shape our everyday experience—and what it might look like to reimagine those systems with compassion and curiosity.
