Wired Differently, Understood Together
Creating neuroinclusive environments at work and in life
About this book
A kinder, more inclusive world starts with understanding.
Neurodivergence affects us all, whether we are neurodivergent ourselves or in relationships with those who are: as a parent, sibling, friend, partner, colleague or team leader.
In the workplace, neurodivergent people often work hard to understand the neurotypical perspective, while being made to feel they are somehow built wrong or unable to express themselves fully.
At the same time, teams are under pressure to deliver results, and it can be difficult to balance individual needs with group performance, especially without a clear understanding of the unique challenges that each person, neurotypical and neurodivergent alike, faces at work.
We all have needs that deserve to be met. But by listening with empathy and acting with compassion, we can create environments where everyone feels safe, seen and heard.
Through a cast of fictional characters, Dr Joan van den Brink illustrates a range of neurodivergent journeys and offers space for thoughtful reflection on the similarities and differences between neurodivergent and neurotypical experiences. As you read, you'll be invited to:
- Reflect on how your beliefs and assumptions shape your relationships and expectations of others
- Be curious about the people in your life and how you can support them to thrive
- Explore practical ways to generate safe, supportive and inclusive environments
Creating neuroinclusive spaces at work and in life is an essential step toward a future that truly celebrates difference. This book will help you play your part.
