The editors at CISO Series present this AMA. This has been a long-term partnership between r/cybersecurity and CISO Series. This month, CISO Series has assembled a panel of security leaders who are neurodivergent or are advocates for neurodivergent people in our field. They're here to talk openly about how ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence have shaped their careers and leadership. They'll cover the strengths it brings, the challenges it creates, what has helped them succeed, what hasn't, and what they wish more colleagues and managers understood. This week's participants are: Allan Alford, (u/seeitsecureit), CISO & SVP, cyber executive for 20+ years Juliet Okafor, (u/snoo-68423), CEO, founder, RevolutionCyber Shaun Marion, (u/MarshaunMan), VP & CSO, Xcel Energy Christian Frösch, (u/Panda-Frog), CISO, CH Media Rick Doten, (u/lovspie), former CISO, AI and Cybersecurity Advisor Proof Photos Editor's note: Our panelists are sharing their own experiences, so please keep questions respectful. Nothing in this AMA is medical or clinical advice. Panelists choose how much they share and may skip questions they're not comfortable answering. This AMA will run all week from 10-25-2026 to 10-30-2026. Our participants will check in over that time to answer your questions. All AMA participants were chosen by the editors at CISO Series (/r/CISOSeries), a media network for security professionals delivering the most fun you'll have in cybersecurity.
