**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. :)

**About Volkert de Buisonjé:**
