ND/Dys and career navigation: building a sustainable path
A practical framework to turn cognitive constraints into a realistic long-term career strategy.
People with ND/Dys profiles often have strong capabilities that are poorly reflected in standard hiring flows.
Start from energy, not job titles
Map tasks that drain you and tasks that energize you. This becomes your first career filter.
Define success conditions
Write down non-negotiables: clear instructions, focused environment, manageable context switching.
30-day action plan
List transferable skills, shortlist compatible roles, and rehearse a solution-oriented narrative.
