Father. Husband. Executive. Autistic.

In that order? Depends on who's asking—and when.

But first and foremost: a father.

For a long time, Tibi believed that being an executive meant staying quiet about being autistic. Now he believes that's exactly the problem. Society still knows surprisingly little about neurodiversity and clings stubbornly to outdated stereotypes. As if an autistic person could only ever be a genius or an outsider—but never a successful executive.
Oh, and of course, someone who never looks you in the eye.

While companies proudly talk about innovation, diversity and fresh perspectives, most neurodivergent leaders remain invisible.

Although they do exist.

Through his own story, Tibi explores what it's like to grow up as an autistic child and later become a leader in a world where social norms often seem to matter more than results. What happens when hyperfocus is a superpower, but radical honesty makes people uncomfortable?

And, more importantly: who gets to decide what's "normal" anyway?

One thing is certain: companies leave enormous value on the table when they treat neurodiversity as a diagnosis instead of a competitive advantage.
