Carole Williamson, In-Work Support and Training Officer at Durham County Council, explains why embracing neurodiversity in the workplace benefits everyone.

Key Points:

  • Neurodiversity reflects the natural variations in human cognition, yet traditional workplaces often exclude neurodivergent talent.
  • Many neurodivergent individuals mask their traits to fit in, and many—especially autistic women—remain undiagnosed.
  • Inclusive workplaces start with education, practical accommodations, and rethinking hiring processes to focus on skills, not interviews.
  • The "Four S’s" framework—See, Support, Safety, and Success—helps create a truly neuro-inclusive environment.
