These are the stories of real neurodivergent working lives.
Drawing on neurodivergent experiences across a wide range of settings, this powerful and practical guide shows how individuals can thrive in their careers.
With contributors who have diagnoses including (and co-occurring with) Autism, ADHD, dyslexia and Tourettes, and who work across education, public service and the corporate sphere, this is an essential handbook of lived experience that doesn’t just look at the theory behind inclusion but sheds light on good and bad practices – and establishes what we can learn from both.
Chapters cover the life-cycle of a job, including finding and choosing work; navigating social environments; managing and improving your performance; and ending roles in a positive way. The challenges of being neurodivergent in the workplace are real – but this highly informative guide will steer you through effectively and successfully.

Reviews
I'm in awe of Claire for tackling Neurodiversity in the Workplace. Thought-provoking and honest, the book exposes flaws in education, work, family and friendships. Dr Greaves is a legend! I deeply resonated with Val's journey. Thrilled Paul was mentioned. A must-read!
Claire writes from the inside, with the clarity of someone who has run a school, built a business and lived every unwritten rule she describes. Honest about privilege, generous with stories, and unmistakably on our side. Long overdue.
A timely, honest and practical guide that moves neurodiversity at work beyond slogans. Claire Farmer brings lived experience, real workplace stories and clear guidance together in a way that will help individuals, managers and organisations do better.
