Stop Masking at Work: Why Neurotypicals Should Adapt Too:Building Neurodivergent-Friendly Workplaces

Why is it always the neurodivergent person's job to blend in? That's the question at the heart ❤️ of this episode. Anissa Zucker welcomes Beven Brynes to the Kainos Joy Podcast for an honest conversation about workplace culture and why the responsibility for adapting has landed on neurodivergent shoulders for far too long. Spoiler: the answer isn't more masking 🎭 It's neurotypical colleagues learning, listening, and doing some adapting of their own. (Yes, that means you might have to change too. We believe in you.) Together, Anissa and Beven dig into: ✅ The hidden toll of masking on neurodivergent employees ✅ Why traditional "inclusion" efforts often miss the mark ✅ Simple shifts neurotypical coworkers and managers can make today ✅ What neurodivergent culture brings to a team when it's welcomed, not hidden ✅ How shared responsibility creates workplaces where everyone thrives If you've ever felt like work requires a performance , or you've wondered how to be a better colleague to someone whose brain works differently ; press play!! 👀 ⏰ This one's for both sides of the desk… 👩‍🏫 🧑‍🎓 🎙️ Subscribe to the Kainos Joy Podcast — Neurodiversity Initiative 📺 Watch every week:    / @kainosjoypodcast   #KainosJoyPodcast #NeurodiversityInitiative #NeurodiversityAtWork #Masking #ADHD #Autism #NeurodivergentVoices #InclusiveWorkplace #BevenBrynes #WorkplaceCulture #Unmasking #EveryMindMatters #NeurodiversityPodcast Some real gems 💎 and people I consider “experts” in the field as well as creative genius & true inspirational neurodiversity advocates—- right here 💥☺️⬇️ ⬇️👏💥🎉 ‪@ADHD_Chatter_Podcast‬ ‪@HowtoADHD‬ high school teacher jeff brown ‪@jeffbrownsclassroom‬ ‪@adhdvision‬ ‪@ADHD_love‬ ‪@AuDHDHub‬
