Neurodiverse encounters in the workplace

This proposal outlines an explorative study into work-related interactions in organizations among neurotypical and neurodivergent professionals (with e.g., autism, ADHD, dyslexia). In cross-neurotype interaction, different ways of thinking may complement one another and generate valuable synergy. However, these differences may also cause impatience, confusion and disconnection. In daily interactions in organizations, neurodiversity-related differences in thinking and communicating may have much impact. However, employees are often unaware of the mechanisms involved in this. Based on an interview study, this project aims at revealing the main issues and success factors in cross-neurotype, face-to-face and online, interactions between professionals.
