Autism Stories: Navya Adhikarla

" The hiring process is so, so old today and it's not always inclusive. So please do take care of the hiring processes. That's the first thing that a business should do. And accommodations, there are so many different kinds of accommodations, but I don't see that happening everywhere, at least in my personal experience. And so to just evaluate, assess and like innovate with your aaccommodations would mean a lot to your organization and to your employees", says Navya Adhikarla. Navya joins this episode to discuss psychological safety in the workplace, differences in her autistic experience in India and the United States, and frustrating aspects of the job search process.

Autism Stories: Laura Hellfeld

"Their nervous system's been dysregulated for such a long time, everything gets thrown off, including the circadian rhythm. So, it makes sense that someone might need to be eating at times they didn't before, and that includes overnight, in order to keep their blood sugar at a decent level so that way they can sleep", says Laura Hellfeld. Laura joins this episode to discuss sleep differences in autistic people, being an independent nurse, and creating safe spaces.

Autism Stories: Hacki

"I decided to create this scale because I think it's important to know that autistic people are very diverse. What one autistic person experiences, doesn't mean another autistic person also experiences the same thing. That's why it was important for me to create a scale that probably covers large parts of the autism community, because there's not only one picture of an autistic person", says Hacki. Hacki joins this episode to discuss something they created to better express theirs and many others autistic traits. We also discuss how being part of a system impacts their life..

"Ironically, wanting to do stand up is the thing that got me into public speaking in the first place. Because of stand-up, I am a lot more sociable and more relaxed when meeting new people", says Rian Reyes. Rian joins this episode to discuss being a stand up comedian, voice acting, and neurodivergence in BIPOC communities. To learn more about Rian visit https://www.instagram.com/rianspeaksfunny/ .
