Agenda

Navigating the workplace or job interviews can be especially challenging for neurodivergent game developers. Differences in communication, stress management, or adapting to change can lead to misunderstandings or feelings of isolation in professional environments. This roundtable explores practical strategies for self-advocacy at work and during interviews. Participants are encouraged to share personal experiences or hypothetical scenarios, learning techniques and insights from one another in a supportive, peer-led discussion. This roundtable is hosted by the IGDA Neurodivergent in Games SIG.

Takeaway

By the end of the roundtable, participants will feel more confident in advocating for themselves as neurodivergent professionals, both in the workplace and during job interviews. They will learn how to recognize their unique strengths and develop strategies for navigating challenging situations, helping them feel better understood, valued, and supported.

Intended Audience

This roundtable is intended for anyone interested in improving their skills in advocating for themselves as a neurodivergent professional.
