“I’ve never disclosed my neurodivergence to a supplier – I fear the stigma that’s attached to it.”
It’s a bold – and brave – admission from travel agent Ben Langsdale. But he’s not alone.
Carol DeMartini works for an award-winning homeworking agency, and is recognised as one of Jet2holidays' top sellers from travel's non-retail community.
She is also one of the 700,000 people in the UK living with autism. Or, in Carol’s case, AuDHD – autism with ADHD – with which she was diagnosed this summer.
Selling travel, she says, can be “a huge dopamine hit – but it can drain me faster than I realise”.
