I recently had the opportunity to present on the topic of #Neurodiverse hiring efforts and was thrilled to see the level of engagement and interest it received. As someone who is passionate about creating inclusive workplaces, I'd love to learn more! If you recognize as neurodiverse, what would you like to see/experience throughout the hiring process that would make you more comfortable? Feel free to comment or message me privately!

For those who aren't familiar with Neurodiverse conditions here is a simple presentation to begin with. What is Neurodiversity?
@Casey Armstrong I'm actually new to this topic as well and would like to know more.
@Casey Armstrong Hello Casey, what a fascinating topic! I’m actually new to the topic and I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge on it by doing some more research later on today, thank you for making me aware! 😁
The places that I worked at where I felt the most comfortable was where everyone was just respectful of one another. People's curiosity about a different culture truly came from wanting to know more about that person...it's wasn't patronizing or a way to assert how they viewed it.
Really love this topic! It's definitely not easy from my past experience. Neurodiversity is really about creating a safe workplace that allows everyone to be authentic at work. From my experience, we could start w/ practicing self compassion and self awareness. We must accept and embrace ourselves first before we can practice empathy and championing others. I believe starting w/ ourselves can actually change the traditional workplace that we used to think we should act and behave a certain way.
Before reading this, I had no knowledge of Neurodiversity...
