About this episode
The episode explores the impact of work experiences on identity and the challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals.
Elaine, Mumtaz and Sara go deep into their experiences at work and the toll taken on their identities from constant masking. Navigating sensory overload, under-stimulation and exhaustion, as well as colleagues who see them as 'weird', too direct because of being so literal or and unreliable. How experiences of exclusion at school continue at work. The many short term jobs. The constant flux. They discuss the pros and cons of disclosing or not disclosing when it comes to their neurodiversity. OVERLOOKED Brought to you by Surviving Society Productions in collaboration with No More Exclusions. Presented by Elaine Mumtaz Sara Executively produced by Ewa Jasiewicz Edited by George Ofori-Addo
