What is Neurodiversity?

Common Neurodevelopmental Differences Part 1
We're now going to begin examining some common neurodevelopmental differences, starting with autism, Asperger's and ADHD. We'll define what each of these conditions is and outline the way these differences can affect people's lives.

We will continue our exploration of common neurodevelopmental differences by looking at dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia, to name a few. Again, we will define what each of these conditions is and explain the way these differences can affect people's lives.

Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Now it is time to turn our attention to neurodiversity in the workplace and explore how employers and employees can make small changes to accommodate the needs of neurodiverse people, from recruitment and the hiring process, through to office layouts.
