If anyone has received manager training that specifically includes neurodivergent people I’d like to know about it.
Managing autistic, ADHD people and those with other neurodivergences is different from managing typical people and there must be something about it somewhere.

@Aniket on hindsight this is such an obvious thing; I'm sad to admit that
a) I've never thought about it before
b) needless to say I've never had such specific training

@esttorhe I’d love to see a large corporation take a shot at this.
You undoubtedly already have several autistic and adhd employees. You could ask those who are ok to reveal themselves about what works.
Also one high level director I know who’s autistic and adhd is Ani Moller might be worth reaching out to them.
Here’s a good primer in the meantime.

@Aniket @esttorhe at Workday we have employee belonging councils, one of them specifically about people with disabilities.
I got involved quite often on this type of discussions about how to support ND workforce better.

@Sh41 @esttorhe would love to have a conversation with someone there on the autism belonging council.
Or even read a blog about it written by one of them about what changes they’ve made.

@Aniket @Sh41 interested in this. Wondering if this is something we could leverage as part of #LeadDev.

Ongoing conversations about this inter-companies seems like a great step forward

I’m working on something like this currently. Give me a week or so and I will see what I can share.
