The New Normal - Neurodiversity in the Workplace
There are so many layers of diversity that go unnoticed. One layer is neurodiversity.
Imagine you’re lost in a foreign city and don’t know the language or customs. And to make matters worse, you lost your cell phone. Disconcerting, right? This is what the workplace is like for technical and creative people who think differently. A lot of time and energy is spent being lost due to issues which affect everyone, especially the neurodiverse, instead of being productive and innovating.
