ND BrainSpace: Work, Careers & The ND Brain

Work can be a minefield when you’re neurodivergent — brilliant strengths sitting right alongside energy crashes, communication tangles, overwhelm, and the eternal mystery of “why can everyone else just… do that?”.

This month we’re diving into the real-world experience of ND folks in the workplace.

We’ll explore:
✨ Common challenges – sensory overload, organisation struggles, uneven motivation, burnout cycles, masking at work, tricky feedback, misunderstandings, and the chaotic dance of deadlines.
🛠️ Practical solutions – workplace adjustments, communication strategies, pacing at work, energy management, job-crafting, and figuring out what actually works for your brain.

Together we’ll ask:
💭 What makes work harder for you than it needs to be?
💭 What helps you thrive — or at least cope — in a work setting?
💭 What kind of career path feels more aligned with who you are?

All our groups are currently free to attend. Pay-what-you-can contributions are gratefully received here:
