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 I think this is about to be The Next Big Thing. My employer (large website, no not that one) is incredibly aware of diversity needs but ADHD/ASD was a new one for them when I reached out a few months ago. But they want to.

@static this is a really good one for autism in tech workplaces.

Whatever they do, try to let them know that neurotypicals cannot talk about neurodivergent issues. I've seen so many initiatives go wrong because of this and ND employees burnout over bad leadership of ND diversity leadership by neurotypical people.

@Aniket We do have some self organised advocacy and resources for ADHD and ASD. I got them aware of how the performance review process can fail ND people. Not sure what the next steps are but knowing my employer they will definitely involve ND people.
