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 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.

Great and very useful

AOD not ADHD
ADHD is widely misunderstood by Neuro Typical members of the public and practitioners. The name itself is the heart of the problem. It's NOT an attention 'deficit'. If this was the case, no-one with ADHD would be able to focus/hyperfocus and excel in certain tasks that they undertake which they are passionate about. The name needs changing to AOD!. It's an attention 'overload' disorder, where 'too many windows are open at the same time'. Either externally (people talking in the background, dogs barking, machinery ect. Or internally, in the form of unwanted/intrusive thoughts, or the mind racing. When the mind quietens, and no external distractions are present, concentration and focus is easily accessed when the subject matter is of great interest.
Very complete training
I learned a lot more than I already knew about neurodiversity, and it will stand me in good stead for working or socialising with anyone who is suffering from the ignorance of others.
Very interesting enjoyed doing the test

This is a very entry level course regarding neurodivergence
It was a good introduction to Neurodivergence.
Very interesting and informative
The pace of the delivery was excellent. The tone and pitch of the presenter was excellent. The contents and information was excellent. The colour of the white wording on the black background, on the question section, was not very supportive to my neurodivergent brain and therefore I had to re read the questions, several times, before my neurodivergent brain could fully understand the question 🙁
Effective and simple to digest
