Jordan shares her experience as a neurodiverse professional who led neurodiversity inclusion work at Glassdoor, drawing on a lifelong connection to disability advocacy. They discuss masking, feeling “not disabled enough” to ask for accommodations, common workplace challenges like time blindness and the impact of flexible hours. Jordan describes gaps leaders face when they want to be inclusive but don’t understand neurodiversity, and shares a frustrating example of receiving a negative performance review after major role and team changes without clear expectations. Together they explore practical solutions: clearer role expectations, manager training, reducing burnout, and using creative approaches like AI-driven gamified meetings to increase engagement. Jordan also shares how she evaluates employers while job searching (job description keywords, work-life balance and disability reviews).  The episode ends with rapid-fire questions and Alex says thank you to her team and supporters while closing out the season and inviting listeners to connect with Cape-Able Consulting for coaching and corporate training.   (00:00) Welcome to the I Am Cape-Able Podcast (00:54) Season Finale: Alex Interviews Former Client Jordan Lux (02:23) Jordan’s Background: Disability Advocacy & Discovering Neurodiversity (04:24) “Not Disabled Enough”: Masking, Time Blindness & Hidden Struggles (05:32) Workplace Accommodations That Actually Help (Flex Time & more) (06:41) Building Neurodiversity Inclusion at Work: Storytelling & ERGs (09:05) When Inclusion Feels Like Two Languages: The “Dance” Metaphor (11:08) Real Example: Role Changes and Vague Expectations (13:26) What HR Could’ve Done: Clear Scope and Written Expectations (19:59) Training Managers to Bridge the Gap + A Simple Policy Shift (23:56) Make Work Engaging: Gamifying Meetings with AI (26:05) Workshops that actually engage neurodivergent brains (27:50) Reimagining the “best place to work”: remote-first + flexible hours (29:57) How to vet inclusive employers: keywords and accommodations (32:49) HR takeaways: inclusive job posts, training, and support that’s real (34:23) Start here: prevent burnout (36:54) Beyond the stigma: stop treating neurodiversity like a deficit (39:37) Rapid-fire fun: naps, impulse buys, and chores to avoid (41:45) Where to follow Jordan + season wrap, thanks, and Cape-Able Consulting outro   Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to stay informed about new “I Am Cape-Able” podcast episodes and news.  Please engage and let us know what topics matter to you!   Our Guest: Jordan Lux can be found on YouTube at⁠ www.youtube.com/@justjordanthings⁠ Jordan’s socials can be found here:⁠ https://beacons.ai/jweazy⁠  Learn more about Cape-Able Consulting.  We believe workplaces thrive when every mind is empowered to do its best work.
