Join OCED for a fireside chat with Sam Sweig ’25, Founder of Calmware, exploring The Hidden Work of Being Understood: Neurodiversity, Mental Health, & the Pressure to Fit In. Together, we’ll examine the invisible effort people expend to appear professional, productive, and socially fluent, while unpacking the personal and professional costs of masking and the complexities of disclosure. This conversation invites neurodivergent and neurotypical participants alike to consider how we can create environments where people can thrive without feeling pressured to conceal important parts of who they are.
