Workplace NeuroDiversity Rising

Having a supportive environment can be the difference between employee success and failure. When we supoport the diverse minds within an organization, everyone on the team benefits (because much of what is necessary for NeuroDivergent success, will benefit everyone in a company).

That's why I've written ths handy guide for you, to help empower other people and organizations to consider what they can do to support NeuroDivergent employees.

This book is designed to be read front to back, but is also organized in sections, to allow you to skip to your organizaton's specific problem areas (since every organization is unique). I've also included a handy glossary of terms at the back of this book.

Lyric Rivera (they/them) is an autistic self-advocate from Texas, who runs the NeuroDiversity lifestyle blog "NeuroDivergent Rebel". They are also the founder of NeuroDivergent Consulting.

Lyric is known as the pioneer of the #AskingAutistics hashtag, where simple questions prompt open-ended responses that autistic people can easily chime in with, and invites participants to engage each other in conversations related to the topic. This hashtag connects NeuroDivergent people who would not otherwise have a reson to engage with each other, and fosters collective understanding of the autistic experience.
