Neurodiversity Celebration Week Mini-Series with Sarah Atkins & Cassie Footman

Episode Summary:

To celebrate Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025 (March 17-23), Sarah Atkins and Cassie Footman bring you this special mini podcast series exploring neurodivergence, workplace inclusion, and the real-life experiences of ADHD and Autism.

Sarah, an ICF-accredited neurodiversity coach, and Cassie, a business/life coach and HR strategist, share their professional expertise and lived experience as neurodivergent women. Together, they discuss the challenges and strengths of neurodivergent minds, the misconceptions around ‘neurodivergence as a superpower,’ and how organisations can create truly inclusive workplaces.

They also introduce alternative cultural perspectives on neurodivergence, including the Maori language’s empowering definitions of Autism and ADHD, which shift the focus from deficits to strengths.

Topics Discussed:

Why we created this mini-series for Neurodiversity Celebration Week
Lived experiences of late-diagnosed ADHD & Autism
The myth of “neurodivergence as a superpower” & why it’s problematic
Challenges with visibility, identity & self-acceptance
Workplace misconceptions & corporate ‘tick-box’ inclusion
Managing burnout, transitions & structure in daily life
The Maori perspective on Autism & ADHD – a more empowering language

Timestamps:

00:00 - Welcome to our Neurodiversity Celebration Week series!
03:10 - Who we are: Our professional & personal journeys with neurodivergence
07:45 - Why we struggled to own our expertise in this space
12:30 - Is neurodivergence really a “superpower”?
18:20 - The challenges of workplace inclusion & corporate misconceptions
23:45 - How transitions impact neurodivergent brains (structure vs. freedom)
34:40 - The Maori perspective on Autism & ADHD – a game-changer
41:20 - How we can create truly inclusive workplaces & support systems

Key Quotes:

"We don’t buy into the idea that neurodivergence is a ‘superpower’—it can be dismissive of the very real challenges people face."

"Corporate workplaces love a good inclusion ‘tick-box’, but true inclusion means understanding individuals—not forcing people into the same mold."

"The Maori word for Autism, ‘Takiwatanga,’ means ‘in their own time and space’—what a beautiful way to describe neurodivergence."

"I need structure, but I don’t want to follow the process. I need an anchor, but I need the freedom to explore—I realise this sounds like a contradiction, but that’s neurodivergence."

Together, they discuss the impact of childhood conditioning, workplace challenges, and societal labels , and how unlearning old narratives is key to embracing who you truly are. They also share practical ways to reconnect with your natural state of being —beyond roles, labels, and external expectations. Topics Discussed: The identity shift that comes with late diagnosis Grief & lost opportunities – what could have been different? The masks we wear to fit into corporate & social expectations Workplace struggles & the lack of psychological safety for neurodivergent employees How Rejection Sensitivity & Demand Avoidance shape our behaviour The fight, flight, freeze, fawn responses in neurodivergent brains Why knowing your needs & advocating for yourself is essential Moving beyond "what you do" and into "who you be" Timestamps: 00:00 - Welcome back & introducing today’s topic 03:15 - The impact of late diagnosis: “Who am I, really?” 08:30 - The grief of lost opportunities & unmasking in adulthood 14:10 - Why the corporate world doesn’t always feel safe for neurodivergent employees 19:50 - Workplace burnout, masking, & rejection sensitivity 24:40 - The power of knowing your needs & advocating for adjustments 30:15 - Reframing identity: Beyond labels & job titles 35:00 - How to collect evidence of who you are at your best 40:25 - Closing reflections & what’s coming next Key Quotes: "You start questioning who you are.

"In the workplace, I didn’t feel safe enough to ask for help—asking for support made you look like a weak link." "Neurodivergent brains experience the world differently—our fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses are wired for deeper sensitivity." "What you do is not who you are. Who you be is what matters."
