Listened to My Ex-Employer Discriminated Against My ADHD, So I Sued Them! Misdiagnosed with Depression - Parul Singh | Ep.12 by ADHD Chatter
Post details
This week, Parul Singh shares the story of how she won a legal case over an ex-employer for ADHD discrimination. Parul is a Recruitment Marketing Partner and Neurodiversity Advocate at xDesign, and an ex-tech recruiter. She was diagnosed with ADHD at aged 25 and uses her platform to awareness about neurodiversity in the workplace and in the recruitment process to build a more equitable future for neurodivergent people.  In order to make a bigger impact, she created a new role at xDesign, "Neurodiversity Advocate” in which she works closely with the People Team to lead the internal neurodiversity community. We all know how important it is to feel less alone. She also feeds into internal policies, processes and supports other neurodivergent employees at xDesign. As a woman of colour, she also puts a spotlight on intersectionality within Neurodiversity and the compounding impact that being from multiple minority groups has on barriers we face”  Topics: 00:00 What are your earliest ADHD memories 04:29 Unhealthy sources of dopamine 11:00 Misdiagnosed with depression + finally getting an ADHD diagnosis 18:47 Normalising ADHD in life + at work 22:38 How did you feel after your diagnosis? 28:52 Imposter syndrome 32:00 Winning a discrimination tribunal + Neurodiversity in business 38:13 What is disability discrimination?
