It is estimated 15 to 20% of the population are neurodivergent. Quite a few neurodivergent people like problem solving, work well with numbers and have a flair with computers so in the IT world that percentage is going to be higher. So the chances are your team, your workplace even your family will include a few neurodivergent people. And every possibility they haven’t told anyone.

How do we as a community, a company or a family create an inclusive team to include them? How does a heavily neurodivergent team include a neurotypical personality into the team?

How does being neurodivergent affect our mental health? How do we explain “my brain doesn’t work like that” without sounding mad or just giving excuses? How do we create a balance between it being seen by some as a disability and others as a superpower? We will share our experiences, the current theories and look forward to hearing yours.
