Companies today strive for a diverse workforce. In this episode, we’ll be exploring why opening the door to neurodiverse workers can not only increase staffing levels, but also bring valuable, new ways of thinking and problem-solving to your organization – ways that can give your company a competitive edge. Today, we talk with Susanne Bruyère, Professor of Disability Studies, the Director of the Yang-Tan Institute on Employment and Disability at the Cornell University ILR (Industrial and Labor Relations) School, and co-editor of Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Issues, Interests and Opportunities. Here, she explains:

- What falls under the umbrella of the term "neurodiversity";
- Why neurodiverse workers today are considered a valuable, untapped talent pool;
- The truth behind who demands the vast majority of accommodations in the workplace today; and
- How to identify gaps between neurodiverse and neurotypical employees, and how to develop effective practices to minimize those gaps!
