A few days ago, we had the privilege of collaborating with European Space Agency - ESA for a powerful event on late neuro-diagnosis, breaking stigma, and empowering people 🌍🧠
Our founder, E. Tessier, together with part of the ICBS team, Daniella Cluyssen and Elena Saraga, delivered a lecture on understanding late-identified neurodivergence and what true inclusion looks like in practice, beyond labels, assumptions, and stereotypes.
This was followed by an honest and inspiring panel discussion with ESA colleagues, who shared their experiences, vision for inclusion, and ways to challenge myths about neurodivergence in high-performance environments.
✨ A few things that stood out for us:
- The level of reflection and awareness participants brought into the conversation
- The courage of people sharing their stories, openly and vulnerably
- The strong willingness from the ESA workforce to build a stronger (neuro)inclusive workplace
We are deeply grateful to Katerina Czech and A. Stefanescu for the invitation, to the European Space Agency - ESA for the trust, and to the 100+ participants for their openness, curiosity, and energy throughout the event.
At ICBS, we believe that everyone deserves to be understood. And yesterday felt like a concrete step in the right direction. 💛
