Abstract

An emerging area of research examines the experiences and contributions of neurodiverse individuals, particularly those with autism spectrum conditions, in educational and workplace environments. This study synthesizes findings across studies to elucidate key aspects of including Neurodiversity in organizations. Diversity and inclusion set the top agenda of all global organizations of today. It is said that the neurodiverse population is over 5% of the employable population (Deloitte 2022). An inclusive workforce cannot be built if this segment is not hired, not trained, and included in the mainstream jobs. Several studies showcase the benefits of workplace accommodations for neurodiverse employees. Adjustments such as quiet workspaces, written job instructions, and noise-canceling headphones allow individuals to minimize sensory overload. Reviews emphasize that customized supports boost job satisfaction, performance, and retention. This review creates a foundation for future inquiry by surfacing cross-cutting challenges and opportunities in current empirical work. It demonstrates the need for ongoing research and translating findings into practice to drive meaningful progress in neurodiversity inclusion. With appropriately supportive conditions, organizations can tap into the innovations neurodiverse perspectives bring. The study presents a few best practices that industries across the globe can adopt. Technology-based training is proposed to be the pathway to neurodiverse inclusive workplaces.
