What is neurodiversity?
However employees with a neurodivergent condition such as dyspraxia may have exceptional verbal communication skills (in the top 10% of the population), but may have difficulty with processing information quickly. Many employees with dyslexia may have outstanding problem-solving skills (in the top 10% of the population), but may have difficulty with short term memory.
Neurodivergent employees can bring a different perspective and a different set of skills to your workplace. Neurodiversity is valuable to employers because neurodiverse employees can bring unique skills and strengths over and above other employees.
