Overview

Annie Crowe, NeuroAccess


Key Learnings

1. The 2e Paradox & Erasure: Understand how high cognitive potential masks access needs, leading to the systemic erasure of neurodivergent individuals who are deemed "too capable" to require support. 2. The Vulnerability Tax: Identify the hidden emotional and cognitive surcharge paid by 2e individuals to "prove" their struggles and navigate systems not designed for their neurotype. 3. Implementing Neuro-Neutrality: Learn to shift from "performance-based" support to a Neuro-Neutral framework where accommodations are a fundamental right rather than an earned reward for high achievers.
