Living and working with Autism and ADD | Ep16

This week Ed Hearn speaks to James and Adam about being diagnosed with Autism and ADD (attention deficit disorder) aged 38.

Ed shares his experiences growing up and how he always felt he was different and felt like an alien at times.

A chance encounter led him to take the tests which gave him his diagnosis.

Ed describes the diagnosis as a weight being lifted off his shoulders and not just labelled.

Working as a Data Management Consultant Ed now hosts bi-weekly coffee mornings for fellow neurodiverse employees and those who have children who are neurodiverse.

In this very open and honest conversation, Ed shares his story and how employers can support and get the best out of their neurodiverse employees.
