Integrate Autism Employment Advisors

So great to gather with like-minded people at the second Neurodiversity@Work Forum at Hearst. Thank you to the amazing Tracy Powell-Rudy M.S. from Integrate Autism Employment Advisors for her keynote on the Financial Impact of Neuroinclusion and to Laura Key and Sarah Greenberg from Understood.org for their powerful fireside chat on the intersection of ADHD and women.

I enjoyed speaking at the Simons Foundation's Autism In the Workplace convening, along with Marcia Scheiner from Integrate Autism Employment Advisors, Michael Eller from Northwell Health, Heather Lewis from the New York Genome Center and my colleague Shrenik (Nick) Sanghvi from the foundation. As a panelist, I shared about my work in the internship so far, some of my strengths as a neurodivergent professional and how the foundation has supported me through this program. Some folks at the reception shared with me how they were very inspired by my public speaking, which I am still in awe of. I am grateful for participating in this event. Thank you Maria Adler and Peri Lund for putting this all together. #autism #autismawareness #inclusivehiring #neurodivergent
