4Getting a Diagnosis
Section 1
In the opening section of this course, we look at the definition of neurodiversity, what this means to an individual, and the different types of neurodivergence.
We also explore some of the misconceptions around neurodiversity, and the stigma and lack of support for neurodistinct people.
Section 2
This section has a focus on a few of the most common neurodivergent identities that exist within our communities, including the three neurodivergent groups – clinical, applied and acquired.
Section 3
Section 3 covers Neurodiversity at Work and how understanding and being aware of neurodivergence can help help individuals to thrive and remove obstacles or challenges. This includes a focus on the 'social model' and 'strengths-based model' that help us to understand how to better support employees and enable them to succeed.
We look into the legal protections that exist for neurodivergent people and the social and financial support available.
Section 4
The final section of the course covers the processes in getting a diagnosis when individuals show signs of neurodiversity. This includes the research, speaking with medical professionals and evaluations.
We look further into what it can mean to have a diagnosis, and the impact this can have on individuals both at work and in their home life.
About this course
Neurodiversity celebrates the gift of uniqueness and independent thought. Along with it comes new ideas, out-of-the-box thinking, and many ways of approaching challenges and solving problems. Neurodivergent colleagues bring highly valuable qualities to the team – but many workplaces fail to support their needs which means neither party is able to flourish as much as they could.
This course offers crucial information for everyone on what neurodiversity is and the benefits it brings to work. It also explores the varied nature of neurodivergent minds, how to best support neurodivergent colleagues, and how to create an inclusive work environment.
In developing the course, we worked alongside Waymakers for their advice, input, and consultancy – they work to improve opportunities and outcomes for autistic people aged 14+, their employers, and others working with them.

Too slow.
Give speed options, the guy talk so slowly and it is a bit painful sometimes. The content is good, but the speed is bad.
The course was very informative

Ok but not best means for me to learn.
I personally struggle with iHasco courses – they are very slow for my learning style and I would prefer to read the information provided in the course, then do the test. I'd also benefit from having the information in a downloadable format to refer to in future, with additional resources mde available for applying learning. The information in the course is good in terms of explaining, at a high level, the different types of neurodiversity (although I'd love to be able to watch the videos at 1.25 speed – I think I'd take more in that way). However I felt it lacked in practical examples, in places, of how to support people needing additional help. For example, team building exercises were given as an example that neurodivergent people may struggle with but no clear suggestions put forward for what suitable team building exercises are, or suitable accommodations that need to be considered to support neurodiverse people.
I am dyslexic course was fine, test should be read out as I am dyslexic and needed assistance to read

Struggled with tone and pace of narration
Personally I found the narration difficult to listen to because of its tone. But otherwise good – Links to greater depth about some issues would have been appreciated.
