We like to believe good intentions are enough and lead to desired outcomes. But when it comes to neuroinclusion, even the most well-meaning actions can quietly create barriers that lead to exclusion and lost opportunities.

In this episode, Dr. Theresa Haskins explores how protection, bias, and fear—often under the guise of care—can hold neurodivergent people back at work, in school, and even at home. Through stories of leadership and parenting, she reveals why intent doesn’t always equal impact, and how to move from being a barrier to becoming a bridge.
