Burnout, Masking and Energy Management for Neurodivergent IT professionals
I will dive into the struggles of masking, burnout and fatigue especially in high demand industries such as IT. I will discuss coping strategies, self care, and finding balance that may not be designed for neurodivergent people. I will weave in my real life personal story and insights that are informative, deeply relatable and inspiring. I will provide actional insights from my own experience living with the rest of the forgotten generation of unidentified neurodivergent women.
