Recognizing neurodivergence in veterinary medicine is one thing. Knowing what actually helps is another.
This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, welcome Ron Sosa, CVPM, CCFP, back to the Veterinary Viewfinder for a practical conversation about neurodivergence at work and the supports that can make a real difference.
They talk about executive function, masking, the inner critic, imposter syndrome, and the exhaustion that can come from constantly adapting to expectations that don’t fit the way your brain works. Ron also shares practical tools he’s building for veterinary professionals, including body doubling, structured peer support, coaching, and his C.O.S.T. framework for understanding chronic self-monitoring, over-adaptation, self-criticism, and tension.
The conversation also looks beyond the individual. What can veterinary leaders and workplaces do differently to support a wider range of people?
If you’ve ever wondered why certain parts of veterinary work feel harder than they “should,” this episode offers a useful place to start.
