“Neurodiversity is an umbrella term referring to a group of neurological development disorders which share common features, in particular differences in how people learn and process information. Definitions vary, but here we use the term to refer to dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Attention Deficit Disorders (ADD/ADHD) and Autistic Spectrum (Autism / Asperger’s syndrome). Under the law these conditions are collectively known as ‘hidden disabilities’.”
Disclosure, I am an “out” dyslexic so I have a vested interest in moving the neuro diversity agenda forward. Projections vary but anything between 1 in 20 and 1 in 5 of your members of staff may be on the neurodiverse spectra.
Why Appropriate The Term “Coming Out”?
Coming out may seem like a strange way to describe the process of telling your employer and colleagues about your hidden disability as the phrase is normally associated with people’s sexuality.
