The AuDHD Boss: Neurodiversity at Work with Brett Whitmarsh I think I might be autistic, now what?
Are you an adult wondering, "Am I autistic? Or "you are autistic, now what?" I'm, Brett, the AuDHD Boss, here I guide you through what to do if you think you might be autistic. With over 10 years of leadership experience and personal insights as an autistic leader with ADHD, I take a strength-based approach to navigating life and work as a neurodivergent individual and I have a formal diagnosis of ADHD and autism (ASD). Before and after I received my late diagnosis as an adult, these are the resources I use every day to better understand my autism and ADHD. We’ll cover: ❓Defining autism and understanding its spectrum ❓The validity of self-diagnosis vs. formal diagnosis ❓Recommended resources, including Dr. Megan Neff's website and tools like Embrace Autism ❓Accessible self-assessment tests and books like Unmasking Autism by Dr. Devon Price ❓Workplace accommodations and tools like JAN (Job Accommodation Network) ❓Whether you're self-reflecting or seeking clarity on the diagnosis process, this video offers actionable advice, practical tools, and resources to help you thrive. ****Please note I am not a medical professional and these are suggestions based on my lived experience.
