Is neurodivergent considered in the diversity conversation?

Are any firms known for or specifically hiring this group right now?

Are there roles/programs out there designed to maximize/leverage adhd minds?

Looking for a collaborative, deep thinking environment to join.

I’m a idea factory looking for a great company/system to plug into.

My latest idea has caught the attention of a billionaire who i’m pitching this week.

Wishing you luck here. It’s kind of sad that the majority of advances and achievements that created our world were invented by the neurodivergent, and yet we face so much discrimination in today’s workforce. There’s a lot of value to be created here, if you can find a structure to harness it.

For us just an awareness thing. It still hurts on the day to day to be neurodivergent.

Nah.

Neurodivergent is just a word that weird people decided to give themselves. It’s amorphous and undefinable.

No. Last year everyone was like “I’m autistic because I’m an introvert” but then all the ADHD ads came on so those people were like “wait, I’m not autistic, I just have ADHD”. But then now they’re like “wait, maybe I’m neither of those things but society thinks I’m different so maybe I’ll just call myself neurodivergent”

You’ll find a lot of neurodivergent people at tech startups esp silicon valley based ones. It’s not openly discussed per say but when everyone says they are introverts who need structure and hate change and they avoid eye contact - or on the flip side, that they don’t sleep and thrive off of generating nonstop ideas and are go go - you all kinda wink wink.
