Moreover, addressing neurodiversity reduces stigma and promotes a culture of acceptance within educational settings.
Discussing neurodiversity in the workplace is essential for creating an inclusive atmosphere where individuals, irrespective of their neurological differences, feel acknowledged and respected.

Ultimately, acknowledging and embracing diverse ways of thinking and processing information contributes to the creation of a more equitable and diverse workplace.
