Most organizations ask the wrong first question about neuroinclusion. They want to understand autism, ADHD, and other forms of neurodivergence—but Dr. Theresa Haskins argues that's not where lasting change begins. In this episode of Think Differently, she explains why the most inclusive organizations focus first on leadership, culture, and psychological safety, creating workplaces where everyone can contribute at their best. If you've ever wondered what separates organizations that talk about inclusion from those that live it, this episode may leave you thinking differently about where neuroinclusion really starts.

Most people don't mind wearing a uniform. What they mind is discovering they can never take it off. Every workplace asks us to adapt. We learn the culture, the expectations, and the unwritten rules that help organizations function. But where is the line between adapting to the job and being asked to become someone else?

In this episode, Dr. Theresa Haskins explores that fine line through the lens of workplace culture, professionalism, and what she calls toxic acculturation. From dress codes and customer service scripts to hairstyles, masking, and workplace expectations, she asks a simple but important question: Is this how we need to work, or are we asking people to change who they are just to fit our idea of what's acceptable? Because sometimes what looks like professionalism is good business, and sometimes it's something else entirely.

Communication seems simple. We talk. People listen. They understand. Except that's not always what happens. In this episode of Think Differently, Dr. Theresa Haskins talks about how the same words can carry completely different meanings depending on who's hearing them—and why that matters more than most of us realize. If you've ever given advice that backfired, managed someone who seemed to misunderstand a simple direction, or been told your communication style was the problem, this episode may leave you thinking differently about what it really means to say what you mean.
