- 2Neurodivergent Minds
- 3Neurodiversity at Work
- 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.
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.

Very informative
Neurodiversity is the understanding and acceptance that human brains naturally process information, learn, and interact with the world in a wide variety of ways. It promotes the idea that neurological differences—such as Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia—are natural variations of the human brain rather than diseases, deficits, or flaws that need to be "fixed"
Good as far as it goes
As a parent of a neurodiverse adult, I found the awareness training to be detailed enough for someone who has no knowledge on the subject. It does nothing really to encourage employers to actually employ someone with Autism. 80% of adults with Autism are unemployed so a very very long way to go. This awareness course is a step in the right direction/ better than nothing but a tick box exercise none the less, for employers.
Real good
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
An updated and accurate training course
Pleasantly surprised to undertake a course that is so in depth, accurate and inclusive as a neurodivergent woman myself
Easy to follow and Informative
Very informative and helpful in today's world of difference and Individuality.
The course was very helpful and clear but the wording about the test was confusing
The course was very helpful and informative but the wording about the test was confusing. It said something like 60% was needed to pass and the course could not be re sat. I thought it was a very useful course and good that it was compulsory.
Good training
Very informative and easy to follow.
