Neurodiversity in Cybersecurity with 3 Guests!
This week Allan is joined by Leigh Honeywell (CEO of Tall Poppy) Nathan Case (Federal CISO at Snyk), and Ryan Macababbad (Currently looking. HIRE HER!), three cybersecurity professionals with broad backgrounds in cyber, and all three of whom are neurodivergent.
Allan in fact, has been recently diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, albeit 'high functioning' (as the diagnosis indicates) or 'low support needed' (as the autism community prefers to call it).
With his recent diagnosis, Allan decided to reach out to friends in the neurodiverse community to discuss:
- The positives of neurodivergence
- Neurotypical responses and stereotypes about the ND community
- Cybersecurity-specific benefits to being ND
- Tips/Advice/Support for those who suspect or know that that they are ND
