Over 80% of autistic adults with college degrees are unemployed. That's not a pipeline problem — it's a workplace design problem.

In this fireside chat recorded at an inclusion conference, I'm joined by Arianna DeAngelis, Training Manager at The Autism Project, for a candid conversation about what neuro-inclusive workplaces actually look like — and why the companies getting it right have a real competitive edge.

We talk about the damage done by the "high functioning" label, the difference between masking and code-switching, why your interview process is screening out great candidates, and the simple structural changes that make workplaces better for everyone — not just neurodivergent employees.

Most people have strong opinions about DEI. Jeremy has a different take: drop the E for equity and replace it with a dollar sign.

In this solo episode, Jeremy reframes the DEI conversation around what actually drives business results — cognitive diversity and genuine inclusion. He makes the case that neurodivergent professionals represent an underutilized talent pool of 67 million Americans, and that the companies already winning (JPMorgan, Deloitte) aren't doing it out of social obligation. They're doing it because it works.

Topics include:

• Why equity is nearly impossible to define — and what to focus on instead
• The business case for cognitive diversity (30–140% productivity gains)
• How subtle exclusion costs you your best thinkers
• Practical hiring strategies to reduce bias and widen the talent pool
• What it means to be neuroconversant
