Neurodiversity is the natural human variation in brain function. Brains are like fingerprints. No two are identical.

Top companies around the world increasingly see neurodiversity as a competitive advantage. They have discovered that some of the most creative, systematic, focused, innovative, and persistent members of their workforce are autistic or have ADHD or dyslexia or more than one of these. They realize that it is not despite their differences that these employees excel, it is often because of their neurodiversity.

Organizational changes that help embrace the unique talents of neurodivergent employees often make a better workplace for everyone.

Did you know… Some autistic people are exceptionally talented in detailed pattern recognition and systematic thinking. Some people with ADHD are outstanding in idea generation and divergent thinking. Some of our most creative, systematic, and persistent problem-solvers are neurodivergent.

Neurodiversity is so important to many STEM companies, they call it their competitive advantage.

“Nearly every neurodivergent STEM professional I speak with says they want autonomy and agency in the workplace. They want room to think about problems differently and agency to solve them in their own unique ways. This is how they thrive and this is how they are most productive. Their managers agree. An inclusive, successful work environment is where each team member can reach their highest potential.” — Jodi Asbell-Clarke, PhD · Author of Reaching and Teaching Neurodivergent Learners in STEM: Strategies for Embracing Uniquely Talented Problem Solvers
