Are neurodiverse employees part of your DE&I strategy? Chances are good that you work or have worked alongside someone with neurodivergence. In fact, 15%-20% of the population is neurodiverse, according to the British Medical Bulletin.
Harvard Health notes that neurodiversity describes “the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one ‘right’ way of thinking, learning and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.” Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, dyslexia and Tourette’s syndrome are examples of neurodiverse conditions.
