Abstract
As global society adopts inclusivity, underscoring that no individual should be excluded and ensuring equitable chances, the acceptance of neurodivergent individuals is imperative. Despite the existence of legal protections, neurodivergent individuals encounter several challenges in securing employment. Approximately 90% of the neurodivergent population is either unemployed or underemployed. Neurodivergent individuals have numerous issues in the workplace including barriers to effective social interaction, difficulty in conveying emotions, reduced career progression, low workplace well-being, and encountering negative attitudes and discrimination. This work aims to understand the conceptual framework of neurodivergence, provide an overview of the existing situations and challenges faced by them and offer pragmatic recommendations for their integration into the mainstream workforce. We have also provided examples of companies that have successfully implemented neuro-inclusive human resource practices in their organisations.
