A humble approach to: Working With Your Mind, Not Against It
A community event to help neurodiverse students thrive
If you’ve ever felt like traditional study advice wasn’t built for the way your brain works—you’re probably right.
Join us for an honest, low-pressure conversation about navigating university (and life) with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other forms of neurodivergence. Less lecture, more conversation—we’ll share some ideas and resources, but mostly this is about creating a safe space to talk openly and learn from each other.
What to expect:
• A fireside chat with Mahdi Shariff, interviewed by ISM student Viktória
• Practical tips for working with how your mind actually functions
• How AI tools can be genuinely useful for neurodiverse thinkers
• Resources you can take with you
• Room to ask questions, share what’s worked for you, or just listen
Who’s this for?
Primarily for students who identify as neurodiverse—but if you’re curious, supportive, or just want to understand better, you’re welcome too.
