Finding a fulfilling career can be challenging — especially for neurodivergent individuals who often think, learn, and work differently from the mainstream. In this insightful 20-minute presentation, **Claire Pech** will share real-life scenarios and practical examples drawn from her extensive work with students, graduates, and adults navigating career decisions through a neurodivergent lens.

Claire will explore:

* How ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent profiles can influence career strengths and challenges
* Common pitfalls in traditional career guidance and how to avoid them
* Ways to identify environments and roles that align with individual thinking styles
* Practical strategies for students, families, and educators to support successful transitions

Through stories and case examples, Claire will highlight the importance of understanding both **strengths and struggles** — and how embracing difference can lead to authentic, sustainable career success.
