Vision:

I’m working with supporters, contributors, and companies who need career-driven neurodiversity to teach career development skills and share hiring opportunities tailored to particular needs to neurodiverse individuals so that they can improve neurodiversity within working environments.

I’m working open because I believe there is a responsibility in us all to help other people who need support to be successful. Diversity is so important in our working culture, and when they win, so do we.

Your project sounds great! Over time, do you anticipate using the network to reach out to companies without existing neurodiversity initiatives to share strategies and best practices and encourage their participation?
