Slayton, a 17 year-old high school student with Tourette syndrome, gives us a behind the scenes look at a very unspoken problem in the workforce. Neurodivergent individuals are the most unemployed cohort in the United States. By encouraging neurodivergent individuals to embrace their authentic self, we can revolutionize the job interview process, empowering these exceptional minds to shine and thrive in the professional world. The world deserves a chance to see the beauty of neurodiversity, and neurodivergent people need a chance to show it. Slayton, a 17-year-old high school student in Washington State, is a passionate advocate for neurodiversity. Despite living with Tourette syndrome, he channels his love for the brain to inspire change across various aspects of life. Slayton's powerful speeches reflect his creativity and unwavering determination to promote understanding and inclusivity. With his unique perspective, he seeks to reshape societal attitudes towards neurodivergent individuals, striving to create a more accepting and supportive world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
