Great to see my colleague Dr James Richards @leaveism sharing his ground breaking work on the role of trade unions in creating neurodiversity friendly workplaces. You can see some of that work here tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Researchers from Heriot Watt University believe urgent action is needed for better representation of neurodivergent people in the work place.

This is a wonderful piece of writing from @SelmaBlair
on her experiences of accessing a diagnosis and the challenges of 'it's all in your head'
Many of our research participants have been told the same. theguardian.com/film/2022/ma…

Very early stages of data analysis led by @felisferalis but shocking finding that 37% of neurodivergent ECRs in our study are thinking of leaving academia. Such a loss of talent due to ableist and neurotypical working environments
