Titan Talks - Unlocking Neurodiverse Talent: Affirming Practices for High-Performing Teams
Published on October 1, 2026
What happens when organizations stop looking for talent in the usual places?
Yesterday, the Titan 100 community came together with Dr. Evisha Ford, Founding Executive Director of iCan Dream Center and 2026 Chicago Titan 100 Honoree, for an important conversation on unlocking neurodiverse talent as a competitive advantage.
The discussion explored how organizations can rethink traditional hiring practices, create more effective pathways for neurodiverse professionals with Autism and ADHD, and recognize the strengths that cognitive diversity can bring to innovation, productivity, problem-solving, and team resilience.
The takeaway was clear: building stronger organizations means recognizing potential where others may overlook it, and creating the environment for that talent to thrive.
Thank you, Dr. Evisha, for sharing your experience and insight with the Titan 100 community.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to learn and grow with your fellow Titans.
