I founded The ADHD Project as a way to help those with ADHD lead more fulfilling lives by sharing strategies, practices, and resources. By raising awareness, I aim to help end the stigma associated with our condition and share the universal lessons it has taught me about the human experience. Even those without a neurological condition can draw insights, parallels, and life lessons from my program. I have spoken to groups of varying size from hundreds to thousands of people virtually and in person. I speak about my experience with ADHD, and what we can learn from it. The topic of "How my unique ADHD experience has taught me universal lessons on life, perseverance, and knowing ones self" is my most commonly request program. Most recently I was asked to speak at the Charles Schwab Abilities Network conference.

I'm Shea Belsky, the Chief Technology Officer of Mentra. We're on a mission to activate the potential of the 1 in 7 neurodivergent people worldwide. Mentra's goal is to address the 40% underemployment and unemployment rate of neurodivergent jobseekers. I was diagnosed with autism at a young age, and have been through the public school system, graduated from Cornell University, and navigated the workforce as a neurodivergent changemaker. I've worked at companies like Wayfair, HubSpot, Google, and IBM in the past as a Senior Software Engineer, Tech Lead, and ERG Lead. My personal "battlecry" is to create a world of accessibility, equity, and ultimately liberation - Which is to say, liberation to be authentic and genuine in a society that often looks down on neurodivergent people as being broken or different. To quote Eric Garcia in his stellar book - "We're Not Broken". In my stories, lived experiences, and expertise, I aim to provide actionable and meaningful insight into neurodiversity. I want to give people something they can relate to and identify with, while still teaching them something new and transforming their perspective on neurodiversity. Through my perspectives, history as a leader, manager, and peer to neurodivergent and neurotypical people, and my work in helping other organizations become neuroinclusive, I want to unlock a new way of approaching the idea of thinking differently - of being neurodistinct.
