About this episode
Looking for a new job can be daunting for everyone. When you’re neurodivergent, the stakes can be even higher in your search for the right role, team, and culture. How can you make the experience less frustrating and more liberating? In part two of Anne and Frances’s conversation with psychologist and author Ludmila Praslova they are joined by a caller who is curious about what his recent autism diagnosis means for his job hunt. The four explore questions about disclosure on the job, how to tell if a role is right for you, and how to use self-awareness to your advantage.

What problems are you dealing with at work right now? Call or text 234-FIXABLE or email fixable@ted.com to be featured on the show.
