Neurodivergence in the Workplace

Being neurodivergent* in today's workplace presents a unique challenge.

Differences in communications, workstyles, morality and information processing can lead to a host of issues, even in generally healthy workplaces.

Tack on workplace toxicity to that mix, and you're facing workplace bullying, mobbing, and a general lack of support from those around you.

For neurodivergent employees, this often results in:

being labeled “difficult,” “too much,” or “not a culture fit”
doing more emotional and cognitive labor than peers
receiving vague feedback with little guidance
gaslighting yourself when the system is the issue

It's tough because- no one actually tells you what the problem is- they just assume you should figure it out- which leads to more of the problems listed above, not less.

Why? Because if you're neurodivergent., you are operating with a different set of perspectives, tools, and lived experience that doesn't align with traditional social/workplace settings. You will alwyas be flagged as an issue- simply becauase you're different- and people are uncomfortable with differences.

Can We Thrive in Today's Workplaces?

The short answer is - of course! All is not lost.

However, it's important to find the right environments that allow your true self to thrive- without needing to fit yourself into society's small box. So, what does that mean?

Learning what your boundaries are, and how to communicate them
Learning to self-advocate for your needs
Learning to see your differences as assets (this will help you identify environments where you're likely to thrive)
Learning what really drives most workplaces
Learning neurotypical patterns and social expectations
Understanding how and why you may be a target in many workplaces
