Being neurodivergent isn't the problem. The world being built for neurotypical people is — but that doesn't mean you're off the hook for figuring out how to navigate it.

In this episode, Jeremy Doran uses three everyday examples — left-handedness, introversion, and non-native speakers — to build a case for why fitting in costs some people dramatically more than others. Then he introduces Dr. Matt Zakreski's seven-foot-tall analogy to reframe what neurodivergence actually is: not a deficit, but a trait paying a tax that most people never notice.

If you lead technical teams, this episode will change how you think about who's quietly exhausted on your team — and why.
