, and spatial visualization to advanced study in the fields of Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). These traits can not only fuelunconventional problem-solving but also contribute to the richness of cognitive diversity.Despite their potential, navigating the traditional academic landscape at a major R1 universitypresents unique challenges for these students. While there are many institutional hurdles tooptimizing neurodiverse graduate students' experience, a key area of impact lies in thecommunication dynamics within their advisor-advisee relationships. Drawing from theexperiences of current graduate students, this paper explores the opportunities embedded in theserelationships to foster a more inclusive and productive

Opportunities to engage in any of these four components ofBandura's agency model related to professional and disciplinary identity can be positive forstudents [2], but an emphasis on identity work is rarely considered in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate programs.Seeking mentors, reflecting on one's professional identity, and building a professional networkthat spans several employment types all require a sense of agency among interdisciplinarygraduate students who are already focusing energy on the
