Resources for Neurodiversity Celebration Week
This week March 13-19 marks Neurodiversity Celebration Week, an annual event shining a light on diversity, challenging misconceptions, and providing information on neurodiversity. At Taylor Root, we strive to help shape a workforce that is diverse, equitable and inclusive wherever you are in the world – supporting all diversity in the workplace and striving for people to be their true selves. We have compiled a post of top inspiration to guide you on ways of supporting Neurodiversity in the workplace.
Books
Books are a great way of helping your cognitive development and taking a breather from bright screens. There are books available showcasing ways of supporting Neurodiversity in the workplace through lived experiences and case studies. These books will challenge your misconceptions, enable you to learn more about yourself and ultimately assist you when it comes to hiring talent. They are also available in audiobook form, for those who prefer to consume content in this way.

It’s no secret that videos are an easy way of digesting information preferred by people who seek ways of processing larger amounts of information in a shorter space of time. Videos provide aesthetically pleasing content and are becoming the leading source of information. Platforms such as YouTube enable us to navigate through such valuable content and broaden our understanding of notions that we come across every day.

Podcasts
Podcasts strike a chord with listeners giving them the ability to immerse themselves in topics delivered in bite-sized chunks. Podcasts are a great multitasking tool if you can’t set aside time to open a new book or start a video. You only need your ears for a podcast meaning they can accompany you during your early morning commute or your research.
Tune in to engaging podcasts and stay entertained whilst you’re on the go.
