Summary

In our podcast series we sit down with neurodivergent individuals and explore their journeys in the world of work in New Zealand for approximately 30 minutes. The podcasts follow a very simple format; first we find out when someone found out they were neurodivergent, then we ask them what school was like for them, and finally we ask how their career developed and how being neurodivergent impacted their career to date for better or for worse.David Hammond Career Success Economics
