Neurodiversity as a competitive advantage

  • The incidence of autism in the United States is now 1 in 42 among boys and 1 in 189 among girls, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention
  • Neurodiverse people frequently need workplace accommodations, such as headphones to prevent auditory overstimulation, to activate or maximally leverage their abilities.
  • Many neuro diverse people have higher-thanaverage abilities and research shows that some conditions, including autism and dyslexia, can bestow special skills in pattern recognition, memory, or mathematics.
