As more people are diagnosed with ADHD and other types of neurodivergence, recognition and understanding of their strengths and challenges can only be good for businesses in the long term, says this clinical psychologist.

There has been a rise in the number of people diagnosed with “neurodivergence” in adulthood over the past decade. As many as 8 per cent of adults globally could have some form of neurodivergence.

Neurodivergence is an umbrella term that typically includes autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorders (SLD) — sometimes referred to as dyslexia.

The rise in these diagnoses when people are already in the workforce presents a challenge for employers. Business owners can be left wondering how they can support neurodivergent employees without causing issues for the wider business.
