Learning to thrive in a competitive and demanding industry like ours when you struggle with some kind of neurodivergency , requires extra effort and skills. As an artist who has always struggled with depression and anxiety (including social anxiety, ironically!) and has recently been diagnosed with ADH, I want to share the knowledge I've gathered so far to not just survive, but to thrive in creative the industry. My hope with this talk is to also provide a new point of view to anybody that hasn't struggled with mental health and wants to know how to make networking and workplaces more accommodating.
