Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. In this deeply personal Episode 67, HPRS Race Director John Lacroix shares a story he’s never told publicly, until now. After a lifetime of masking and adapting to neurotypical expectations, John opens up about his recent diagnoses of ADHD (Combined Type) and Autism (Level 1). This isn’t just a story about neurodivergence; it’s a reckoning with leadership, identity, and the cost of pretending to be someone you’re not. You’ll hear how John’s neurodivergence has shaped everything from race-day logistics to how he handles noise, social interaction, and emotional bandwidth. He talks candidly about Autistic Burnout and the hidden work of masking. This episode is a call to unmask; not just for him, but for all of us. It’s an invitation to build a trail community where everyone belongs, regardless of how they blend in. If you’ve ever felt “too much” or “not enough”… this one’s for you.
Topics include:
What it means to be neurodivergent in leadership
ADHD and Autism through a personal lens
The invisible cost of masking in trail culture
How HPRS is evolving to reflect sustainable leadership
The Community Roundtable (CRT) and a shared vision for the future
