The Neurodiverse Workplace

This Disability Pride Month, let's advocate for inclusive practices that support neurodiverse employees. Simple accommodations can make a big difference in their productivity and well-being. What small change can you implement that will make life easier for your employees? #InclusiveWorkplace #Neurodiversity

I am still buzzing from the great conversation on today's Neurodiverse Professionals Community virtual meetup! We talked about sensory challenges in the workplace, traded tips and recommendations, and learned about pink noise. Autism, ADHD, giftedness, dyslexia....so many neurodivergent identities can make the workplace difficult to manage. Community helps. Want to join us? We meet every Thursday at 9am Pacific Time via Zoom! There is no fee to join the weekly call. https://lnkd.in/gmhENUuJ

For Disability Pride Month, let's focus on the strengths that neurodiverse individuals bring to the table. Their unique perspectives can lead to innovative solutions. #CelebrateStrengths #DisabilityPrideMonth

Masking at work is a defense mechanism that many neurodiverse individuals use to avoid stigma and discrimination. This constant effort to appear "normal" can be incredibly draining. Managers can help by creating an environment where employees feel safe to express their true selves. This includes providing training on neurodiversity, encouraging open conversations, and implementing supportive policies that recognize and accommodate different needs. #Unmasking #SupportiveWorkplace #Neurodiversity

This week on Gifted Kid Messy Adult we talk about how "everyone" is NOT "a little ADHD" or "a little autistic." Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/gPFQVmjJ Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gRPwSFJs

Are you an autistic manager or leader? I'm partnering with my friends at Drexel University to help with research on autistics who manage or lead people. If you manage one or more employees and are able to fill out an anonymous online survey, please DM me. Thank you for your help in studying #NeurodiversityAtWork.

I am thrilled to announce my course: Supporting Neurodiversity in the Workplace, is live on Udemy and Udemy Business! https://lnkd.in/gBU5xbUN
