It is estimated that 15-20% of the population is neurodivergent. That means it’s likely that you have identified as being neurodivergent or someone in your workplace is. And yet, the acceptance and inclusion of neurodivergent people at work is uneven, and most people find it challenging to get support and accommodations for their needs at the workplace. A global report by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) on Neurodiversity in Accountancy talks about how organisations and individuals can embrace neurodivergent talents in the profession. We speak to Sharath Martin, ACCA Senior Policy and Insights Consultant, and Dr Rajini Sarvananthan, Consultant Developmental Paediatrician, on how organisations can start looking at neurodivergent employees as professionals with diverse strengths and challenges.
