BACKGROUND

Advantages

Neurodiversity includes all the diagnoses previously defined, plus all individuals who do not fit into those categories. Support for Neurodiversity responds to the reality that we are all wired differently.

By empowering a variety of people and perspectives, businesses can create rich interactions, stronger teams, innovative solutions, a competitive edge, and a thriving culture. Companies who embrace neurodiversity benefit, as shown in the 2019 study from Frontiers in Psychology, “ style diversity indirectly influences the rate at which the team improves its implicit coordination over time through its collective intelligence.”

Or, as Nick Walker, PhD states, “Neurodiversity is an invaluable creative resource, a problem-solving resource. The greater the diversity of the pool of available minds, the greater the diversity of perspectives, talents, and ways of thinking—and thus, the greater the probability of generating an original insight, solution, or creative contribution.”
