Redefining the Boundaries | Yojit Mirani | TEDxYouth@SISmumbai

Yojit shares his journey of being diagnosed with ADHD and the emotional, social, and academic challenges that followed. From hiding the diagnosis out of fear of judgment to finally embracing testing accommodations, the speech explores how societal stigma—especially the fear of “log kya kahenge” (what will people say)—can prevent individuals from seeking the support they need. Through moments of denial, growth, and empowerment, Yojit reveals how accepting his neurodivergence transformed his performance, confidence, and identity. The talk offers insight, empathy, and practical strategies for anyone navigating ADHD or societal pressure and aims to serve as a call to redefine boundaries on our own terms. Yojit is passionate about sparking conversations that challenge the status quo and drive societal progress. Armed with an empathetic approach and a relentless work ethic, he believes collaboration is key to addressing the world’s most pressing challenges. He is driven by the conviction that true progress happens when diverse ideas unite. With a keen eye for emerging trends and a heart set on positive impact, Yojit stands as a testament to what can be achieved when relentless curiosity and compassion converge proving that no frontier is too vast when approached with an open mind and a helping hand. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
