On episode #16 of the Openhearted Podcast, we are looking to talk more about the trades and what it's like to be neurodistinct in this industry.

With a large amount of people working in the trades who identify as neurodistinct, we thought it fitting to bring on an autistic trades-person to talk more about his experience.

We are excited to be catching up with Tom O'Connor to talk about his experience and some of the challenges/success he has had during his career.

Please check out the questions below we intend to discuss further:

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do for a living
2. Tell us a bit about your neurodiversity
3. At what age were you diagnosed and what did that mean for you?
4. And what was the process like for you getting into the work that you do?
5. How do you manage in your trade with your neurodiversity? 6. What else would you like to see in the trades with regards to support for neurodiversity?
6. How do your workmates and friends view it?
7. What support did you get after diagnosis?
8. Any advice you could give to other adults living with neurodiversity?
