Is neurodivergent considered in the diversity conversation?

Are any firms known for or specifically hiring this group right now?

Are there roles/programs out there designed to maximize/leverage adhd minds?

Looking for a collaborative, deep thinking environment to join.

I’m a idea factory looking for a great company/system to plug into.

My latest idea has caught the attention of a billionaire who i’m pitching this week.

If you're looking for a place that hires a bunch of high functioning creative people with mental illnesses that's called an ad agency.

Sold this dream and my thinking to U.S. head of one of the biggest agencies out there.

Went straight to director level. It was great all around and big things were in the works.

A month into the role. My dog died, my dad died, and the person who hired me was fired and the role was disbanded all within the span of a week.

Trying desperately to get back on the horse.

If you're pitching your idea next week, would looking for a different opportunity right now be the right move? Focus on your pitch

ND should be in the diversity conversation but ableism prevents companies from making real DEI initiatives. They chicken out because they’re scared that we hurt their bottom line with our need for accommodations. Haven’t found my agency home yet, but I hope you do.

I’d never heard of ND before today. But I feel like ad agencies have always been ripe with ND. We just knew it by other names, ADHD, dyslexic, social anxiety, bipolar, autism, etc. any many ways people in creative realms seem to (on the surface) have a higher propensity to have those.

I will admit, I have not worked with anyone with Down Syndrome/Intellectual difficulties.
