Autism, ADHD, and Why Productivity Falls Apart Without Purpose – Ep 119 with Travis Alexander

“I’m very good at starting things, then halfway through I ask: why am I doing this?” In this episode, Travis Alexander shares an honest conversation about career confusion, productivity struggles, and the long road to self-understanding after late diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. Together, we explore why work can feel harder without clear purpose, how masking shows up in careers and productivity, and what actually helps when motivation keeps collapsing halfway through. Travis Alexander is a science and engineering master’s graduate who has worked across startups, corporate medical technology, and creative projects. Diagnosed with dyslexia, autism, and ADHD later in life, he is now a neurodivergent advocate and author of Stairway to the Spectrum, where he reflects on identity, work, and self-awareness. Outside of work, Travis enjoys breakdancing, running, and spending time with his wife. 00:02:02 – Diagnosed with dyslexia, but answers didn’t last 00:03:00 – Autism and ADHD discovered much later 00:09:15 – Self-awareness after late diagnosis 00:14:30 – Fifteen to twenty jobs and still searching 00:21:06 – Productivity collapses without a clear ‘why’ 00:23:19 – Masking at work and following instructions Connect with Travis: Website: https://www.travisalexander.com.au/ Connect with Jeremy: LinkedIn:   / nageljeremy   Email: jeremy@focusbear.io More from Focus Bear: Website: https://focusbear.io LinkedIn:   / focus-bear   Youtube:    / @focusbearapp   Twitter:   / focusbear1   Instagram:   / focus_bear   Facebook:   / focusbearapp   Podcast: https://podcast.focusbear.io Tiktok:   / focusbear
