"A book that will enable you to think differently about people who.... think differently. An incredibly insightful read that perfectly brings together why organizations should value neurodiverse talent and how they can best provide an environment for that talent to shine. It takes you on an incredible journey from understanding why neurodiversity is important, all the way to the successes that organizations can hope for - stopping off on the way to deliver impactful, practical and real-life advice for anyone whose role it is to hire, develop or retain talent." * Alan Walker, Co-founder of Udder & ChatTalent. #HRTech Consulting and Advisory - the Udder way *
"The book is packed with great case studies, examples and important messaging to take away, plus incredible insights and explanations of the spiky profiles we all have (some more than others). In the authors' words: "True change requires commitment - sustained and anticipatory" - this book will help any reader on that journey - it's one of the most detailed texts I have encountered on the subject." * Jean Hewitt, Senior Inclusive Design Consultant, BuroHappold Engineering *

"Neurodiversity is an important area of DE & I, that has only really come into our conscience over the last few years. We know this impacts a wide range of people either in the workforce or finding insurmountable challenges to get in it. I applaud both authors for their honesty in sharing their own lived experience of work, and for collecting so many stories to share. This is a real almanac for making difference. Reading over, let the hard work start." * Bill Boorman, Strategic Advisor, #Tru Founder, Rebel Rouser *
"Neurodiversity is one of the most important and untapped opportunities in business today. This book clearly explains the issue and honours the necessity to pay close attention to every employee's individual needs and leverage people's extra special capabilities in unique and powerful ways." * Josh Bersin, Principal and Founder, Deloitte Consulting LLP *
"I want to give huge credit to Amanda Kirby and Theo Smith who have brought their whole selves, personal and professional, to create an up-to-date guide on neurodiversity in the workplace. They provide a comprehensive review the current perspectives of the neurodiversity paradigm, good practice in the workplace and real-world examples of innovative programmes and strategies. There is no such thing as a 'Degree in Neurodiversity' for HR / D&I Professionals, but for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in this field, this book is as close as you are going to get to it!" * Aidan Healy, Chief Executive Officer, Lexxic *
