Finding my voice:Leading with neurodivergence in a world built for sameness

What does leadership look like when you stop masking and start showing up as your true self?

In this inspiring episode of Neurodiversity Stories, Darren Clark sits down with Asma Khanum — CEO of Chatterbug Speech and Language Therapy Service, award-winning Speech and Language Therapist, and proud neurodivergent leader.

Asma shares her deeply personal journey of discovering she’s AuDHD (Autistic and ADHD) later in life — and how that realisation transformed her leadership, her communication, and her connection with others.

From masking and misunderstanding to creating a thriving inclusive company, Asma opens up about raising neurodivergent children and leading with authenticity. She also reveals how her lived experience inspired projects like Intervention First, Bright Speech App, Chatterbug Academy, and Teaching First, all designed to support children with SLCN.

This conversation ties perfectly into my new collaboration with Promova, where we’ve launched the Neuroinclusion in the Workplace course — a practical, global training designed to help companies move beyond awareness and build truly inclusive environments.

If you care about learning, leadership, or inclusion, this episode will challenge the way you see training — and inspire you to build systems that work with, not against, the brain.
