Summary
Neurodiversity is part of veterinary medicine, whether we talk about it or not. In this episode, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, sit down with Ron Sosa, veterinary team coach and founder of Syn-APT Leadership Coaching, to explore what neurodiversity really looks like in our profession. From Ron’s late diagnoses of ADHD and autism to high masking, imposter syndrome, and burnout, this conversation goes deeper than labels. Ron shares why veterinary medicine may have a higher prevalence of neurodivergent professionals than the general population and what that means for clinic culture, leadership, and team dynamics. The discussion moves beyond accommodations and into accessibility, including practical ways to reduce cognitive load in the hospital environment. If you lead a team, manage a practice, or simply want to better understand yourself and your coworkers, this episode offers thoughtful, actionable insight. It’s not about diagnosing anyone. It’s about building workplaces where people can thrive without having to mask who they are. Syn-APT website: https://www.syn-apt.me/ Amazon Link: https://a.co/d/8YrUYOL
