Neuroinclusive Career Planning
You’re not broken for feeling overwhelmed.
You’re doing your best to function.
Most career processes — searching for jobs, applying to grad school, or working 40+ hours a week — weren’t built for how neurodivergent brains actually operate.
That's why I help ADHD, Autistic, and other neurodivergent professionals and students get clear on what they want and create a realistic plan that fits their brain, energy, and bandwidth.
You’re in the Right Place If…
Your biggest challenges sound like this:
Burnout
Drained by jobs that consistently ignore your needs and make it impossible to do your best work. Gaslighting yourself into believing, "it's no so bad." You need to be honest with yourself.
Masking
Editing yourself constantly to seem "professional enough" - in interviews, at work, even in cover letters and online. It's exhausting. You need to feel safe and accepted.
Analysis Paralysis & Perfectionism
Stuck in the loop of collecting and comparing job postings. Waiting to feel "ready" before hitting send. Fear of rejection or failure preventing you from moving forward. You don't need more time or data. You need to take action.
Executive Function Overload
You know what to do - but the second you try to start, your brain shuts down. Too many steps. Too little energy. And increasing frustration: "if I could do it before, why can't I do it now?!" You need clear guidance.
Bad Career Advice
You're doing everything "right" - applying online, networking, tailoring your resume for every job - and none of it is actually working. You need to know what works in today's market.
Hi, I'm Ash: a Career Coach with AuDHD + a TBI.
I've been there too.
Even as a career coach for 12 years, I...
-
Job hopped for nearly a decade,
-
Almost got kicked out of grad school,
- Failed exams or getting fired for forgetting paperwork,
-
Hurt my health by staying at a job for too long,
-
And wondered, "what's wrong with me" when I couldn't start or finish a task that seemed so easy for others.
Then I got a traumatic brain injury (TBI). I couldn't mask anymore.
I now had insight into what millions of neurodivergent and disabled professionals experience every day:
-
Job search exhaustion and starting a new role while managing physical symptoms,
-
Disclosure, accommodations, and medication management,
-
Full-time work with weekly migraines and doctor visits,
-
And navigating medical leave, remote work, and burnout.
I learned firsthand you can try your hardest and still "fail" by others' standards.
We’re told it’s our fault — that we just “need to try harder.” But the truth is, these systems — hiring, the workplace, grad school — were built to exclude, not include, people with different brains and life experiences.
Once I stopped trying to fit into broken systems, everything changed. Now I help others do the same.
