090 | [Guest] What I wish leaders knew about working with neurodivergent people - Kadin McEwen

My guest today is Kadin McEwan, a student, writer, and activist on a mission to help raise awareness about autism in society and part of that includes education.

Kadin has an Autism diagnosis and has experienced the negative effects that gossip can have on neurodivergent people. 

In this episode we talk about Kadin's activism in this space and his experience with gossip.

We also discuss how the onboarding/screening process for employees can improve to ensure that all people are treated with respect, whether they are neurotypical or neurodiverse. 

And finally, Kadin gives advice to leaders on how they can treat people with disabilities in the workplace. 

Enjoy this episode!
