Neurodivergence in the workplace

I’m excited to share something I created in my workplace and just received permission to make creative commons (by attribution, non-commercial share-alike).

• ​https://sites.google.com/monash.edu/neurodivergence-accommodations​

This is a self-paced resource that I hope will be helpful for

• neurodivergent folks in workplaces to understand some of the challenges and supports, navigating self-disclosure and seeking help and includes a scenario to practice with.
• allies and supporters who want to help neurodivergent folks and/or make their workplaces more accessibility in general

It is intended to be reviewed together with lived-experience-led awareness training so if you read through it but haven’t gone through something like that, you may find some of this confusing.

To assist, some key things to understand prior are:

• ​The social model of disability​
• The neurodiversity paradigm and movement​
• ​what is neurodiversity​
• as well as some myth busting about neurodiversity

Have a look at the resource, share it with others, and please also feel free to provide any feedback you have! Even though it’s “published” I consider it a live piece as it can be difficult to fully represent such a broad topic and I want to keep improving things to have something that really helps our community.
