How to Support Neurodiverse Colleagues
Neurodiversity is an umbrella term that refers to a wide range of neurological conditions, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Tourette Syndrome, among others. It is important to remember that neurodiversity is not a mental health disorder or illness; rather, it is a natural variation in how people think, learn, and process information.

Understanding Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Neurodiversity is the concept that recognizes that neurological differences such as autism, dyspraxia, dyslexia and ADHD are normal variations in the human population. It is based on the idea that these differences should be accepted and respected, just like any other form of diversity. Neurodiversity in the workplace is an important concept to understand, as it can have a major impact on an organization’s culture and performance.
The Benefits of Neurodiverse Teams in the Workplace
Neurodiversity acknowledges that people with neurological differences have unique perspectives, skills, and abilities that can be beneficial to the workplace. These differences can contribute to a more diverse and inclusive work environment, where different types of thinking and problem solving can be better utilised.
What Employers Need to Know About Neurodiversity in Recruitment
Neurodiversity is an alternative way of understanding and valuing neurological conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. It’s an alternative to the traditional medical model, which views neurological conditions as medical diagnoses to be treated, managed or cured. Instead, neurodiversity celebrates the diversity of the human brain and the unique strengths and experiences of those with neurological conditions.
Developing Neurodiversity Policies in the Workplace
Neurodiversity is the idea that neurological differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia should be accepted and respected as part of the natural variation among human beings, rather than seen as disorders to be fixed or eliminated. Neurodiversity is an increasingly popular concept in the workplace, as it encourages employers to create a more diverse and inclusive environment where everyone is accepted and respected.
Creating a Neurodiverse Friendly Work Environment
Having a neurodiverse-friendly workplace increases creativity, ingenuity and ultimately success for the business. Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation of mental traits found among humans, such as intelligence and learning styles. It also encompasses neurodivergence — people whose brain processes are different than the ‘normal’ or ‘typical’ way – such as those with autism, dyslexia, and ADHD.
Managing an Autistic Employee
Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how a person communicates and relates to other people, as well as their ability to process stimuli from their environment. People with autism may experience difficulty in social interactions, communication, and repetitive behaviours.
Managing Staff With ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder that affects people of all ages. It is characterised by difficulty concentrating, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD can cause people to have trouble with paying attention as well as completing tasks. People with ADHD may also display disruptive behaviors such as talking excessively or interrupting others.
