Part of the benefit of diversity lies in the different ways that we tackle briefs and challenges. People whose brains are wired in different ways can bring a huge competitive advantage to our industry. However we haven't always created workplaces in which people that aren't neurotypical can show up as themselves. We want to celebrate the superpowers of dyslexia, autism, dyspraxia and dyscalculia - without being flippant about the very real barriers that people who aren't 'neurotypical' can face in the workplace.

3 – Practical shifts to make in the recruitment process and beyond, including case studies of what has worked elsewhere
