Talk: 'Wired differently'

Intro:
11 years ago, well into my career as a software engineer, I was diagnosed with ADHD. The diagnosis was a missing puzzle piece that explained why I was facing some persisting challenges at work and in life, as well as some "superpowers" that I had always taken for granted.
This led me to wonder: how can I share these experiences with other neurodivergent colleagues, particularly those earlier in their careers, and how can I help my employer to tap into the full potential that a neurodiverse workplace offers?

What I'll cover in this talk:

• A personal introduction and back story.
• A brief explainer on what neurodivergence is (ADHD, autism, etc).
• What an Employee Resource Group (ERG) is.
• How we set up an Employee Resource Group for neurodiversity at Fastned and what its goals are.
• Why your company should set one up too. :)
