From Challenges to Opportunities: Insights into the Neurodiverse Experience in UX

Neurodiversity refers to a natural variation in how people think, perceive, and learn. It includes conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. Neurodiverse brains are wired differently than neurotypical brains and process information and experiences uniquely. Rather than deficiencies, these represent alternative ways of thinking and perceiving. You may have heard people online refer to themselves as “neuro-spicy”! It is estimated that in the UK around 1 in 7 people are neurodiverse.

Many neurodiverse individuals struggle to find and keep jobs due to issues like sensory sensitivity, social difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, or problems with executive functioning like organisation, time management, and working memory. However, with the right environment and support, neurodiverse individuals can thrive professionally and provide immense value through their unique strengths.
