The Green Room: Questions That Matter Most In BusinessHow can companies think differently about people who think differently? With Steve Hill and Matt StallardIt's estimated that 15 to 20% of the global population is neurodivergent. 1 in 5 people. But fear of stigma prevents many from disclosing this in their workplaces. That's a lot of people not bringing their full selves – and skills – to work. And companies not getting the best of their brilliant talent. For some, choosing to disclose can be empowering and spotlight their strengths. But it can also be complex to navigate. Especially when there's stereotypes or lack of education and understanding. So, what can companies do to become more inclusive for neurodiverse people – and make the...

Autism: In conversation with auticonWhy Parents of Neurodivergent Children can be Trailblazers for the Future
There is often lots of learning (and unlearning) to be done when it comes to understanding neurodivergent conditions.
For instance, many of the standard parenting guidelines simply don’t apply to neurodivergent children, meaning parents often have to find their own unique ways of doing things. This can mean re-writing the rulebook to find an approach that works for each individual child and family.
Having the courage to take a personalised approach, even if it means going against expectations, can be a great blueprint for helping the working world to become more neuroinclusive.
