Supporting liberation and healing through affirming unapologetic authenticity at work. As society shifts its focus towards more conversations about disability, mental health, and neurodivergence, how do folks with intersecting identities navigate the mainstream's new demand for authenticity? This session will take time to explore how factors like risk, harm, power, and privilege play a major part in who gets to be “real” and how it feels in real time. Come to understand how good intentions to increase inclusion are more complicated than they may seem on the surface. Together we will uncover how to navigate these moments specifically as a neurodivergent person, and how to center the experiences of folks most impacted as allies. Together we will learn how to:

• Confront the danger of good intentions.

• Unpack “authentic self” expectations.

• Learn to center folks that are most impacted.
