The Invisible Workforce: Why Neurodivergent Women Are Hidden Talents

Reflect w/ Ed Fassio — where AI tells the stories that matter. A deep dive into why neurodivergent women — especially those diagnosed later in life — remain largely invisible in hiring and the workplace, despite being an untapped talent pool with unique cognitive strengths. Julius and Hale explore the hidden cost of masking, the structural barriers that filter out some of the most capable minds before they ever get a real shot, and why forward-thinking companies are finally starting to pay attention. The conversation gets into late diagnosis patterns, how workplace "culture fit" often codes for neurotypical conformity, and what real inclusion actually looks like beyond the DEI checkbox. Your Move: What you can actually do — whether you're a hiring manager, a colleague, or someone who's spent years wondering why the environment never quite fit. — Reflect w/ Ed Fassio | reflectpodcast.com
