“You can’t change everybody, but you can change one person.” – Jeanette Delahunty In this episode, AIBF CEO Elaine Carroll sits down with Jeanette Delahunty, founder of TSK Academy, a social enterprise on a mission to make neuro inclusion real in schools, workplaces and families. Jeanette shares her journey from early school leaver and late-diagnosed ADHD, to Masters in Psychology and six-in-a-row Business All-Star. She talks honestly about masking, burnout, bias, and what actually helps neurodivergent people feel like they belong, not just “fit in.” We also dive into her next big step: a Neurodiversity Summit and a long-term vision for a one-stop assessment and support centre. Highlights:

• Origin story: from “not good enough at school” to founding a neurodiversity-led social enterprise.
  
• Lived experience + letters after your name: why organisations still want both.
  
• The TSK model: corporate training funds low-cost and pro bono support for families and those most overlooked.
  
• Beyond awareness: moving from “we know autism exists” to real belonging, respect and support.
  
• Masking at work: the hidden cost of “peopling” all day and crashing at home.
  
• Psychological safety: how leaders can drop their guard, share their own struggles, and let others take off the mask.
  
• First steps for employers: unconscious bias with a wider lens, neurodiversity training, and fixing policy gaps that miss hidden disabilities.
  
• Leadership in practice: weekly check-ins, tailored tools, and asking “What do you need this week?”
  
• Growth turning point: why a Masters in Psychology shifted doors, confidence, and impact.
  
• The road ahead: therapy and consultancy under Inclusive Mind Therapy Services, and a future all-in-one assessment centre to cut years off waiting lists.
  

Tune in for a grounded, honest conversation about inclusion that goes beyond slogans, with real stories, practical steps, and a founder whose mission is to change the world one person at a time.
