About the project |
What is Working to Work?
There is a wealth of talented neurodivergent-status individuals
Commited, skilled, capable, and wanting to work.
But often hiring and workplace practices and attitudes
don’t accommodate those that think, communicate, or behaviour differently.
They create barriers to neurodivergent-status workers obtaining, and maintaining gratifying work —and contributing their unique strengths.
Working to Work is a radio programme broadcast on Resonance FM (also on YouTube and podcast) that explores the intersection of neurodivergence and employment.

The project seeks to create a space where neurodivergent individuals can feel seen, understood, and empowered, offering relatable stories and practical insights that inspire personal and professional resilience.
By faciliating greater awareness and understanding across audiences, Working to Work aims to inspire more inclusive and accessible opportunities and contribute to a broader appreciation for neurodivergent strengths and perspectives in all types of work, with a particular focus on creative fields.
Who is Working to Work for?
Working to Work is for neurodivergent creatives and others who feel ‘different’—those who think, communicate, and work in ways that don’t always align with typical expectations, leading to barriers in obtaining, navigating, and maintaining meaningful work.
It also serves as a resource for organisations, allies, and the general public to better understand these unique challenges and strengths, encouraging wider recognition and support for neurodivergent talents and perspectives.
Why this project?
Despite some successes, I've had to take unconventional routes to accomplish what I have, as conventional paths didn't feel applicable, and barriers hindered access to my creative career.
In 2022, following an especially arduous situation, I became determined to channel these challenges into creative outlets. Recognising commonalities between my employment-related struggles and those faced by individuals with experiences to my own I envisioned a platform for individuals to share their challenges, successes, and ideas.
