 rogram\n\nNeurodiversity is the range of common differences in thinking and
  behavior which we now understand to be normal variations in humans. This i
 ncludes conditions such as autism\, dyslexia\, ADHD\, and others. Neurodive
 rse variations have played a central role in the development of human socie
 ty\, yet neurodiverse people have been historically misunderstood and margi
 nalized as individuals.\n\nJoin us for this free 90-minute online lunch-and
 -learn educational webinar to gain a better understanding of neurodiversity
  and its role in society and within the workplace. In this session\, you wi
 ll gain a basic awareness of neurodiversity\, an understanding of autistic 
 traits with workplace relevance\, and tips for enabling neurodiverse collea
 gues to be effective in the workplace.\n\nWe will discuss how leading compa
 nies foster neurodiversity to their advantage\, how increasing understandin
 g and acceptance of neuro differences is allowing more people to enter the

 d and support neurodiverse colleagues.\n\nThis class will not be recorded.
