SUMMARY:Neurodiversity and the future of work
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, 50\,000 American children on the autism spectrum reach their 18th birthday\, yet 80 percent of these young adults will be\, and currently are\, unemployed. Neurodivergent individuals include those on the autism spectrum and those with bipolar disorder\, dyslexia\, dyspraxia\, and several other intellectual and developmental differences. These individuals face unique challenges in the labor market\, issues which are only growing more complex with the rise of remote work\, automation\, and the prioritization of noncognitive skills. \n\n\n\nAEI’s Brent Orrell and Jessica Lee of NeuroTalent Works will offer remarks on the state of neurodiversity in employment. Panelists will then discuss the future of neurodiverse work\, the private sector’s efforts to promote neurodiversity in hiring processes and workplace environments\, and the role of public policy in addressing the barriers for neurodivergent individuals in the workplace. \n\n\n\nLIVE Q&A: Submit questions to Jessie.Wall@aei.org or on Twitter with #NeuroDivWorks. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n3:00 PMOpening remarks:Jessica Lee\, Executive Director\, NeuroTalent WorksBrent Orrell\, Senior Fellow\, AEI \n\n\n\n3:10 PMDiscussion \n\n\n\nPanelists:Alix Generous\, Neurodiversity ActivistJessica Lee\, Executive Director\, NeuroTalent WorksScott Michael Robertson\, Senior Policy Adviser\, Office of Disability Employment Policy\, US Department of LaborJose H.

From his personal experience as an autistic individual\, Andrew was inspired to create the organization “Planning Across the Spectrum” to specifically work with individuals\, families\, employers\, and care teams of those with special needs. Andrew is an advocate for Autism and neurodiversity acceptance. Andrew is a board member for Autism Career Pathways and was an Ambassador for ABLE National Resource Center in 2020. \n\n\n\nAbout Neurodiversity in the Workplace™\n\n\n\nNeurodiversity in the Workplace™ (NITW) is dedicated to making neurodiversity a fundamental component of talent acquisition by eliminating barriers faced by neurodivergent job seekers. \n\n\n\nAs a business consultancy and training provider\, we design\, implement and sustain neurodiversity hiring programs with partner organizations seeking a more diverse\, equitable\, and innovative workforce.

SUMMARY:Live Industry Talk with Nathan Chung: Neurodiversity in Tech
DESCRIPTION:Registration link: https://lu.ma/f952i5v9  \n\n\n\nAbout This Event: \n\n\n\n​What is Neurodiversity? Neurodiversity refers to variation in the human brain regarding sociability\, learning\, attention\, mood and other mental functions in a non-pathological sense. These attributes in people highlight some unique strengths and challenges.  \n\n\n\n​Neurodiversity at work (especially Tech) is an important topic yet not often discussed. This event aims to break that barrier down and delve into this topic from 2 perspectives: A manager and the employee. We will discuss what managers can do to support NDs and ways NDs can thrive in the workplace.  \n\n\n\n​Come join us to participate in this exciting conversation. \n\n\n\n​About Our Speaker: \n\n\n\n​Nathan Chung is a Neurodiversity champion who is openly Autistic with ADHD. He is winner of the 2020 Ally of the Year award and an advocate for diversity and inclusion\, diversity disability inclusion\, and women in cyber/tech/STEM. He is also the host of the NeuroSec podcast which amplifies the voices of the Neurodiversity community. He serves on the board of Ignite Worldwide\, WiCyS (Women in Cybersecurity) Colorado\, and leads the WiCyS Neurodiversity group. He is a senior consultant at Microsoft on the Azure Cloud and AI team. He has two masters degrees with around 20 IT\, cloud\, and cybersecurity certifications. \n\n\n\n​About PMDojo: \n\n\n\n​PMDojo is a diverse learning community for people from all walks of life. Our mission is to make tech more inclusive and accessible. PMDojo was founded by Bosky\, an entrepreneur and a Product Leader with over two decades of experience. \n\n\n\n​Our unique Product Accelerator is a 10-week part-time apprentice-style program to enable product enthusiasts to gain practical experience and skills to break or transition into product or even launch their own products or side projects.

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity as a Competitive Advantage
DESCRIPTION:“As corporate diversity programs enter the mainstream and the benefits of hiring workers from underrepresented backgrounds become more widely known\, there is still one group that isn’t often talked about: the neurodiverse. Neurodiversity is an umbrella term that refers to the breadth of human neurocognitive functioning. Neurodivergent people can experience conditions including autism\, ADHD\, obsessive-compulsive disorders\, and dyslexia\, to name just a few. Meanwhile\, companies that have started seeking out neurodiverse talent are already seeing the benefits. \nTogether\, with a host of neurodiversity champions\, we’ll have a timely discussion around how individuals can harness their differences as gifts\, and how companies can lean into neurodiversity to create more inclusive and productive workplaces.”
