DESCRIPTION:We often treat management frameworks like rigid code-bases—ex
 pecting the same input to yield the same output from every engineer. But w
 hen I began parenting my 11-year-old nephew with Autism and ADHD\, I learn
 ed quickly that standard "commands" resulted in runtime errors\, timeouts\
 , and unexpected crashes.\n\nSurprisingly\, the strategies I developed to 
 support his executive function and sensory needs mapped directly to my ini
 tial struggles in engineering management. In this talk\, we will explore t
 he parallels between supporting a neuro-divergent teenager/child and leadi
 ng a high-performing development and quality team. We will cover why "impl
 ied" context causes friction\, how to manage context-switching costs\, and
  why the "Why" matters more than the "What." You will leave with tips for 
 creating a documentation-first\, clear-communication culture that benefits
  your junior developers\, your senior architects\, and everyone in between
 .
