About this Episode

In this episode, we explore exactly what it means to be neurodivergent. We also dive into what Agility in Mind research shows about the representation and inclusion of neurodivergent individuals in the workplace. Lastly, we also explore how managers can support neurodivergent workers even if they are working remotely.
