Neurodivergence captures many different differently abled individuals that may communicate, learn, socialize, and/or have emotional differences. Just as there are many celebrated strengths with individuals with certain types of neurodivergence, such as the association between dyslexia and entrepreneurship or ADHD and creativity, there are many untapped strengths in autistic and neurodivergent individuals. However, potential obstacles also exist related to communication challenges, executive functioning difficulties, sensory issues, and other obstacles that can limit their success in the workforce. Learning how to support neurodivergent individual strengths while overcoming their obstacles is beneficial to not only the employee but the employers as well. Autistic and other-neurodivergent individuals are a vastly untapped workforce who, when given the right environment, can be an invaluable and important contribution to the community workforce.
