Only 4 days left until Neurodiversity Celebration Week! Diversity is a fact. Did you know that approximately 15-20% of people are neurodiverse, which means they have a natural variation in the way their brain thinks, learns and processes information. Inclusion is Action. Neuro-affirming people and systems accept, understand, value and celebrate neurodiversity. Acceptance is considerate and respectful of differences. True inclusion requires action from all parties.

🌟 Yesterday marked an important milestone as we kicked off the Championing Neurodiversity Roadshow at AtkinsRéalis, spearheaded by Matthew Nash. It was an honour to be part of the panel alongside three colleagues from our Bristol office, including Nick Draisey. We delved into vital discussions surrounding neurodiversity, shedding light on our personal journeys and experiences.   Key topics we explored included: ·      the timing and impact of receiving our diagnoses. ·      the factors influencing our decisions to disclose our neurodiverse conditions. ·      Masking, a common phenomenon among neurodiverse individuals. ·      Challenges faced in the corporate world. ·      Ways colleagues can support neurodiverse individuals in the workplace.   Whether it's promoting open dialogue, providing accommodations, or fostering a culture of acceptance, small gestures can make a world of difference in creating inclusive workspaces. Thank you to everyone who attended and is engaged in championing neurodiversity, creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to thrive.   I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to participate in such an impactful discussion and look forward to continuing the conversation and driving positive change. #Neurodiversity #Inclusion #ChampioningDifferences ✨

🌟 Embracing Neurodiversity: Celebrating Our Unique Talents 🌟 As Neurodiversity Celebration Week begins today, I'm proud to stand as a representative of the neurodiverse community. Living with Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia, I've come to understand that being neurodiverse isn't a curse; it's a gift waiting to be unwrapped. Neurodiversity encompasses a beautiful spectrum of minds, each offering unique perspectives, talents, and abilities. Yet, all too often, society views neurodiversity through a narrow lens, focusing solely on the challenges we face rather than recognizing the immense strengths we bring to the table. To employers, I say this: Embrace neurodiversity. See beyond the labels and stereotypes. Instead, recognize the innovation, creativity, and problem-solving skills that neurodiverse individuals possess. Our minds are wired differently, offering fresh approaches to complex problems and sparking innovative solutions. As we celebrate Neurodiversity Celebration Week, let's spread awareness, foster understanding, and champion inclusivity. Together, let's create a world where neurodiversity isn't just accepted but celebrated. #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #EmbraceNeurodiversity #inclusionmatters

This week (March 18th-24th) is Neurodiversity Celebration Week! It's a fantastic time to recognise the incredible strengths and perspectives that neurodivergent individuals bring to the workplace. Here are some ways we can all celebrate neurodiversity: Educate yourself: Learn about different neurodivergent conditions! There are many resources available online and through organisations like https://lnkd.in/ejiMW_CT Challenge stereotypes: Neurodivergent people are not all the same. Everyone has a wide range of experiences, strengths, and weaknesses. Promote accessibility: Simple adjustments in the workplace, like flexible work hours or noise-cancelling headphones, can make a big difference for neurodivergent employees. Be an ally: Speak up for your neurodivergent colleagues and advocate for inclusive practices. OHHHHHH AND ALSO.....If you are an employer looking to learn how you can better support a neurodivergent workforce, we are offering free Neuroinclusion training up until the end of March.
