Neurodiversity Isn’t a Trend — It’s

the Future of Human Potential

One in 36 individuals is now diagnosed with autism, and more than 20% of the global workforce identifies as neurodivergent in some way.

Organizations that understand and support neurodiverse talent see higher innovation, improved retention, and stronger team performance.

Yet most leaders, HR professionals, and educators lack the knowledge or systems to support this potential effectively.
