They get them too, they just won’t admit it 🤔
-The difference between impulsive and intrusive thoughts~
This example is based on some of the most common types of intrusive thoughts people with anxiety and OCD get, but they’re not all encompassing or even entirely reflective of Maia’s own experience.
They are intensely distressing—and that is the key differentiation.

Go big or go home?: how large corporations like Amazon are creating the inclusive blueprint with disabled and Neurodivergent communities in the driving seat
In 2022 Amazon named “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion”
In our latest episode, we sat down with Naomi Johnson, Global Disability Employer Resource group lead, who sits as co-director for neuro diversity - in addition to her role as Disability Inclusion Lead for global stores at Amazon.
Covering:
✊# #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
💻The 5 A’s
🔎Looking through an inclusive pan disability lens
🤟Pronouns and inclusive language
♿️Joining the disabled and Neurodivergent community in later life - and diagnosis
🧑🏫 inclusive workplaces Vs discriminatory employers & our guests experiences of both
Many disabled and Neurodivergent people we spoke to said ‘go big or go home’ when it comes to employment – but what has your experience getting your Access needs met at small, medium or large corporations been?
After watching this episode, if you still have questions, get your tickets for Disability Expo and get your questions answered directly from Naomi and Jürgen, who feature on the show.
