I’ve been asked to speak about ND at a public event. Although it’s widely known I am a ND advocate I’m not sure how I feel about it being recorded and possibly publicised. Any advice or experience here?

I've found myself in similar scenarios where I want to be open about being ND in order to help reduce stigma, but I'm also deeply reticent about it because it can be used against us.

I would say consider who the audience of the public event is and what reach it could have; think about what you would speak about and if there are any potential negative ramifications that would make it not worth your while (of course there could also be positive ones, but realistically I suspect there are more likely to be possible negative ones you are wanting to be mindful of).

No matter what you choose to do, wishing you the best!

I think it’s the recording aspect? Maybe I’m over thinking it? I just don’t like the idea of the talk having a half life. Maybe that’s what I confirm? How they’re recording other and what platform etc.

Don’t hesitate to ask those questions to the organizers to help you with your decision. And great work being a ND advocate.

Ask what the recording will be used for. You may be able to opt out of the recording if you’re more comfortable with that.

And good luck with the presentation, and thanks for getting the word out.

I feel awkward because I have ADHD and the event is on world autism day, though it is a general neurodiverse event

That is a bit awkward.. although trust your Firm to have a general ND day. If you still feel uncomfortable reach out now and tell your internal team that you’ll do October which is ADHD awareness month, but they should find someone with autism for world autism day. Everyone should be represented

What’s ND?

Neurodiversity.

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!
