    #8 Learning, Law, and Lived Experience: Courtney’s Insights on Unmasking Neurodivergence and Advocating for Inclusion

    Join us for Episode 8 of the Enabled Podcast as we chat with Courtney Rosato, Disability and Inclusion Expert and neurodivergent individual diagnosed with autism and ADHD (AUDHD) later in life. Courtney shares her experience of masking her neurodivergent traits over the years, and discusses how societal and educational structures often overlook neurodivergent women. From her time in law school to her professional career, Courtney opens up about discovering her unique way of learning and working, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the exhaustion often caused by trying to fit the strict molds of traditional work environments.  Listen in as we explore the importance of implementing neuro-affirming workplace policies, drawing on Courtney’s blend of legal expertise and lived experience. We’ll discuss the value of open communication and genuine curiosity in supporting neurodivergent colleagues. Courtney highlights the need for creating flexible, regularly updated policies informed by feedback from those with lived experience, rather than relying solely on static documents. This episode offers some incredible insights - we hope you find it valuable!
