Some kind of myth vs reality one pager/fact sheet for NTs to understand the ND brain.
Another fact sheet with video accompaniment for NDs to help them understand how to ask for things like reasonable deadlines or clear communications of expectations … something like, “when you hear …” or “when someone says,” and suggestions for what to say or how to react.
I know there are existing resources out there you could crib from to build these.
Ps that’s awesome your firm is sponsoring the ERG. People in my firm tried to get this going and met with HR and others but could not get sponsorship and this ERG is for whatever reason not allowed. We have an informal group but we fly under the radar because of the above feedback.

This may be stating the obvious, but I’d have an open forum to share tips and strategies for working with certain traits. Like focus strategies helping to understand and manage RSD at work. And also not necessarily keep it to those with a diagnosis of neurodivergence, but people interested in the topic both for themselves and how to work with others who may be neurodivergent.
I think this is a better starting point. Once there’s a group, some idea of what others need, and others who can help OP, then they could pursue the other ideas.
How do you define reasonable support? For most geographies, local law prohibits asking for diagnosis so how do you define this? Like, you wouldn't doubt need of remote work for person that is on wheelchair if the building is not accessible for wheelchairs but we are all quick to doubt anything that is not visible (which then also affects support needs). If you mean by the scope your company can support, then ok. This is a very HR heavy topic, take it with them before releasing any comms.
I would start from making everyone aware of broad definition of neurodiversity and then for definitions of each diagnosis. But also not to put people in boxes too much nor strenghten stigma. If you want to already start comms within neurodiverse group, then support topic would be very appropriate.
Then that makes total sense
