Neurodiversity in the Workplace : How neurodivergent individuals can find their place and thrive

A guide for neurodivergent individuals on navigating the workplace successfully. Covering the life-cycle of a job, from finding and choosing work to leaving a role - and everything in between, with advice on performing strongly and advocating for yourself, regardless of your diagnosis.

These are the stories of real neurodivergent working lives. Drawing on neurodivergent experiences across a wide range of settings, this powerful and practical guide shows how individuals can thrive in their careers. With contributors who have diagnoses including (and co-occurring with) Autism, ADHD, dyslexia and Tourettes, and who work across education, public service and the corporate sphere, this is an essential handbook of lived experience that doesn't just look at the theory behind inclusion but sheds light on good and bad practices - and establishes what we can learn from both. Chapters cover the life-cycle of a job, including finding and choosing work; navigating social environments; managing and improving your performance; and ending roles in a positive way. The challenges of being neurodivergent in the workplace are real - but this highly informative guide will steer you through effectively and successfully.
