ADHD, Autism, and the Case for Self-Employment
<p>Self-employed with ADHD or autism? For a lot of people, it's not a lifestyle choice, it's the only option left when a corporate job stops working.</p><p>Brett talks with Liora, founder of Colorful Futures, a neurodivergent, queer-run HR and career consulting business. Liora spent years as a recruiter before starting the business, and this conversation gets into what actually triggers the leap into self-employment, how a late ADHD or autism diagnosis can be part of that decision, and what that choice looks like once you get past the LinkedIn version of it: the guilt, the uneven pace, and the fact that the whole business model doesn't have to be figured out before starting.</p><p>Liora and their colleague Caitlin Fisher are hosting the Entrepreneurial Horizon Workshop on Thursday, July 16 at 6:30 PM Eastern. It's a 90-minute session for anyone with an idea they haven't figured out how to build yet. $18 to attend, replay included.</p><p><br>Register here: <a href="https://colorfulfutures.thrivecart.com/entrepreneurial-horizon/">https://colorfulfutures.thrivecart.com/entrepreneurial-horizon/</a></p><p>More on Colorful Futures: <a href="https://colorfulfutures.us/about">https://colorfulfutures.us/about</a></p><p>This conversation is also available as a video on the AuDHD Boss YouTube channel.</p><p>Interested in working together?
