Lee McKeeman, a seasoned engineer from Texas, found out he was autistic in his late 30s while working at Meta. Despite the challenges he faced in navigating office politics and communication, his unique neuro differences have equipped him with exceptional skills, such as hyperfocus that has distinguished him throughout his career. Growing up feeling different, Lee struggled to conform to typical workplace expectations, especially in job searching, salary negotiations, and understanding social cues, which are often daunting for those on the spectrum. He attributes his success to his relentless curiosity and ability to solve problems—skills that have earned him recognition in the demanding environment of Big Tech industries. In addition to his technical prowess, he emphasizes the importance of seeking support, whether through occupational therapy or groups for autistic individuals at Google, highlighting the essential need for a support system when navigating the complexities of the workplace. By sharing his personal journey, Lee encourages others with neuro differences to embrace their unique strengths while advocating for proper understanding and support within corporate settings.
