Online awareness training

Kim


Does anyone know of any online neurodiversity training courses for co-workers and management?

I recently disclosed my diagnosis at work to my team, I’d rather not have, but I was encouraged by my manager and HR in return for them organising awareness training.

unfortunately, they haven’t arranged it, the team haven’t a clue about autism. If I send a link to the national autism society they probably won’t bother to read it.

We also have a colleague who is dyslexic so they need neurodivergence rather than just autism awareness.

  • I’ve been asking for managers training in neurodiversity at my work for ages. Nothing yet. They have run ND awareness training for people but it was optional and I think should be mandatory for managers.

    You could recommend your boss reads Daniel Ahearne’s The Pocket Guide to Neurodiversity. The author did our training and I bought his book afterwards. It’s not perfect, but is a good gateway for NTs and for NDs trying to understand divergences different to their own.
