Neurodivergence

Been in healthcare for well over a decade now, in a variety of roles. I'm currently a data scientist working in pop health for a large and world-renown academic medical center. I think my kind of neurodivergence (honestly not even sure how to label it) works really well for both the work that I do, and the work-adjacent stuff I learned to get really good at (my brain loves connecting things, so I'm very good at mapping out an org and figuring out who to talk with, how to navigate politics, etc.) which was helpful for my career. I sometimes wonder how much of my work time is spent on things I'm actually told to do, and how much comes from things I've found myself in charge of or involved in because I found them interesting or they were important to me (like diversity stuff).
