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 much to understand
This course is enough to baffle to smartest of people, far too drawn out !
A very informative course
I found the course to eb very informative and learnt a lot about the misconceptions that surround ND and what we can do to support people who present as ND.
Very easy to understand and informative
Useful insight into social benefits for an inclusive society, some personal experiences as a career manager of some 40 years had me remembering instances and helped me understand the way forward.
Excellent course

It's okay, a bit presumptuous
It's covers a lot of ground, and does combat some wrong assumptions about neurodivergency. Some questions didn't seem correct – 'no two neurodivergent people can be alike' and apparently the answer is true? Surely any person can be alike any other person, regardless of neurodivergencies. Second, what the course classes as neurodivergent is very arbitrary. There is quick mentions that mental health issues such as depression and anxiety can constitute a neurodiversity. Nothing about personality disorders. Then, at the quiz at the end, Bipolar isn't classed as a neurodivergency. Which seems strange that depression is but not bipolar, when depression is part of bipolar.
Good
