Description
People with neurovariations may spend a lot of time trying to adjust to their work environment by managing their social behavior or finding ways to block out distractions. Over time, this extra effort can take a toll on their work performance, as well as their physical and mental health. Expecting neurodiverse people to work under difficult circumstances sets up an unfair situation, where their neurotypical coworkers might ignore their needs or preferences. Adopting the ideas of neurodiversity at work helps immensely, reducing the stigma and stress that affects neurodiverse workers. Let's talk about what this looks like.
