DENVER (AP) — Engineering student Tory Ridgeway buried his head. Just finished with his Lockheed Martin internship and weeks away from his final year at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the 22-year-old from Maryland found himself overwhelmed by the solidarity he felt at a neurodivergent leadership conference. Having autism and ADHD, Ridgeway already knew there were plenty of others like him. But he hadn’t realized they shared the same negative self-talk. He said he locked into focus when he heard The Neurodiversity Alliance President Jesse Sanchez describe overcoming feelings of being a “defective toy.”
