Work that fits your brain
Neurodivergent career support for autistic, ADHD and AuDHD adults
If you’ve spent years working twice as hard to fit into jobs built for someone else’s brain, you’re not imagining it, and you’re not the problem.
Divergent Careers is practical, honest career help for neurodivergent adults: finding work that fits, getting through the job hunt, and keeping a job without burning out.
Start here: the free Burnout Check
Running on empty and not sure if it’s the job, the rest of life, or both? The Burnout Check is 13 questions based on the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, a widely used burnout measure. It looks at personal burnout and work burnout separately, so you can see where the pressure is coming from.
It takes a few minutes, and your results show on screen straight away.
Thinking about telling work you’re neurodivergent?
Whether to tell, who to tell, what to say and when. It’s one of the hardest calls at work, and there’s no single right answer.
The Disclosure Kit walks you through the decision, then gives you scripts, email templates, worksheets and audio guides so you’re not making it up on the spot. For job seekers and people already in a job. A$39.
Free articles, minus the ‘superpower’ fluff
Straight answers to the questions people actually ask, about disclosure, burnout, late diagnosis, job hunting and finding work that fits your brain.
Who this is for
Autistic, ADHD and AuDHD adults, whether you were diagnosed at 8 or 48.
Self-identified, waiting for an assessment, or still working it out? You’re welcome here too. You don’t need a diagnosis to get career support.

Hi, I’m Narelle
I’m a career development practitioner with more than 13 years’ experience, postgraduate qualified, and a professional member of the Career Development Association of Australia (CDAA) and the Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA).
I’m late-identified AuDHD and I’ve raised neurodivergent kids. I’ve also spent years as a careers practitioner working with people who might be, probably are or absolutely know they’re wired differently. Most of us find out the hard way: later in life, usually after burnout.
I’m not here to fix you or tell you which ‘autism jobs’ or ‘ADHD jobs’ to apply for, because those lists don’t work. I’m here to help you work out what you need from work, and how to find it.
Want to work with me one-on-one? Book a free 20-minute chat and we’ll see if we’re a good fit.
