About Katherine McCord: Katherine McCord is an entrepreneur, international speaker, and the Founding President of Titan Management, where she champions integrity, inclusion, and innovation. She created the first-ever anti-bias Applicant Tracking System, Titan ATS, and founded The Neuroverse, a neurodiversity-focused nonprofit. Katherine is passionate about shaking up HR, fostering workplace inclusion, and advocating for animal rescue and human rights.

In this episode, Brian and Katherine McCord discuss:
- Understanding what neurodiversity is
- The impact of neurodiversity on daily life
- Strategies for managing family dynamics
- The role of communication in caregiving
Key Takeaways:
- Neurodiversity includes conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia, and PTSD, which affect how individuals process information and stimuli, and can come with both disabilities and strengths.
- Hormonal shifts, like those experienced during menopause, can significantly exacerbate or alter the ways in which individuals manage their neurodiversity.
- Implementing universal design principles in both homes and workplaces can greatly help accommodate the diverse needs of neurodiverse individuals, thereby reducing the everyday challenges they face and fostering a more inclusive environment.
- Adapting communication styles to the needs of the individual, such as using clear and specific questions, can lead to better understanding and outcomes in caregiving situations.
"Every human, neurodiverse or not, has different needs and a different way of functioning. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that they have the autonomy to live life in a way that is healthy and natural for them, whether they are a child, your partner, or an elderly parent." — Katherine McCord
