This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week. Many of us think and work in different ways, including colleagues with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia, and that range of thinking makes us better at what we do. If you'd benefit from workplace adjustments, such as written agendas, quieter spaces or more flexible deadlines, talk to your manager or see [link to adjustments guidance]. And for everyone, sharing agendas ahead of meetings is a simple habit that helps.

Tone note

How to pitch it.

Let neurodivergent colleagues choose whether to share their experiences, and never ask anyone to disclose a diagnosis. Avoid both deficit language and superpower clichés; a strengths-based approach with practical support works best.
