Why are there higher unemployment rates among neurodivergent people?

This high rate is true, but it remains hidden due to a great lack of knowledge about the meaning of neurodiversity and, above all, due to a lack of training and awareness in society about the importance of inclusion and what neurodivergent people offer.

Some of the realities we encounter are:

  • Social barriers : there are prejudices and stigmas that can limit our employment opportunities and access to them.
  • Lack of adaptations : many workplaces are not adequately adapted to meet the specific needs of neurodivergent workers.
  • Shortage of support programs : there is a lack of training and employment programs specifically designed for people with disabilities, in addition to what was mentioned above regarding social training.
  • Discrimination in the hiring process and in the work environment.

It is crucial to work towards a more inclusive society that recognizes and values the contribution of neurodivergent people in the workplace.
