How can we help neurodivergent colleagues?
Creating a respectful work environment is quite simple. People with neurodivergent personality disorder (NDP), when medicated, function best while the medication is taking effect. Therefore, we should adjust their schedules to the times when they are most productive. Furthermore, due to their difficulties with planning, it's always helpful for them to be reminded of deadlines. Instructions should be shared in writing and be precise, and complex tasks should be broken down into smaller, manageable parts. They should not be assigned administrative or monotonous work. Meetings should be short and productive, rather than lengthy.
A good understanding is necessary; in this sense, inclusion must be bidirectional. Good practices apply to both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals. It is fundamental to understand this; the message should be one of recognition of neurodiversity, where we all belong.
