Eleni shares that she is a late-diagnosed high-functioning autistic woman, describing neurodiversity as an umbrella term that includes conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism, and explains how late diagnosis led to panic attacks, burnout, and years of misunderstanding. She discusses why accurate diagnosis helps people find effective coping mechanisms and why organizations should educate teams, create psychological safety, and provide individualized workplace accommodations to prevent burnout and retain loyal neurodivergent talent. Eleni advises parents to accept differences, seek guidance, and build safe spaces for children, and highlights empathy as a key skill for workplaces and negotiations.Check out the book: https://ekdoseis-papasotiriou.gr/products/9789604911233-kollias-odusseas-aesop-in-business?srsltid=AfmBOoqmynmrbqAem2yWPAaC8TwrF6pyogdJV6mY6TpCvG4jkShWFRiF
