Description

So many parents of neurodivergent children lie awake at night wondering the same thing:
 “What will happen when my child enters the workplace?”

In this episode, Dr. Olivia sits down with Jenefer Livings, HR consultant, workplace needs assessor, and mother to a neurodivergent child, to demystify what neurodiversity at work really looks like. Together they explore how shifts in workplace culture, flexible working, and better understanding of executive functioning are transforming what is possible for neurodiverse adults.

You will learn:

  • Why traditional school subjects do not predict your child’s future career success
  • How to identify strengths—not just struggles—in your teenager
  • What reasonable adjustments and Access to Work actually mean
  • How parents can support teens to self-advocate with confidence
  • Why the right workplace can unlock your child’s brilliance (and how to spot the wrong one)
  • The rising opportunities in self-employment and entrepreneurship for differently wired minds

This is a hopeful, practical conversation for any parent wanting to help their child step into adulthood with confidence, clarity, and a sense of possibility.
