Keynote: A Neurodivergent Career--Making Work Fit Us by Joelle Maslak

Recorded at Kiwi PyCon 2025 - https://kiwipycon.nz/ Neurodivergent brains can excel at tech, but excelling in formal employment can be more difficult! Most jobs are designed for the mythical neurotypical brain, and many are a particularly poor fit even for well-qualified neurodivergent brains. Learn about strategies that might work for different kinds of neurodivergent brains to adapt these neurotypical-centric jobs to neurodivergent brains. Knowing what adaptations can actually help and how to get those adaptations is important! This talk will give some examples and strategies to shape a job to fit a neurodivergent brain better. Joelle will also encourage those with lead, partnership, or management responsibility to consider alternatives to the ways we've always done things, to allow more people to do amazing work in tech. This talk will draw from 25 years of professional experience in both tech and neurodivergent communities. It will go beyond the simple answers given to neurodivergent folks in the workplace ("Wear noise-cancelling headphones!") and instead talk about what a job that actually fits some neurodivergent brains might look like. How do we communicate/collaborate with coworkers? Get feedback? Use technology and scripting to assist us? I will mix tech solutions and non-tech solutions to the problems with neurotypical-centric employment. I hope to present a vision of neurodivergent employment futures.
