Diagnosis of autism and ADHD has seen a sharp uptick over the past years, especially among adults, a rise that's in lockstep with growing societal awareness of neurodiversity.
While neurodivergent folks still face stigma and discrimination, organizations are opening up to the fact that employing a diversity of brain types can boost innovation and build a competitive advantage. A study by tech recruitment firm Sparta Global found that neurodiverse teams show higher adaptability; incorporating different perspectives and problem-solving approaches makes them better positioned to respond to change.
While agencies like Amazing15 have a valuable role in advocating for deeper awareness of diverse talent, the far better option would be for workplaces and hiring processes to be neuroinclusive by default. Is your brand harnessing the full spectrum of human potential by nurturing those who are wired differently? If not, you're missing out ;)
