FAQ's

At Advance: The Disability Consultants we recognise that the conversation around Neurodiversity is still in many respects in its infancy. Yes, many people have heard terms such as “Neurodivergent” “Neurodiverse” “Neurominorities” to name a few but society and the modern workplace has still yet to fully accept, celebrate and embrace Neurodiversity and Neurodivergent people. However, it is important to note that the conversation around Neurodiversity and Neuroinclusion is improving all the time as more people get diagnosed and more people share and talk about their Neurodivergence the  greater our levels of understanding of Neurodiversity in the workplace and society as a consequence. The Neurodiversity Movement founded by the Australian Sociologist Judy Singer in 1998 came about as an umbrella term to help better represent the Autism community has come to define all forms of cognitive diversity and this is something we need to embrace across all aspects of our workplaces, cultures and societies. Our frequently asked questions resource guide is designed to support managers, HR Professionals, individuals seeking a diagnosis and family members wanting to learn more about Neurodiversity. Because when we make our workplaces Neuroinclusive all employees reap the benefits regardless of whether they are Neurotypical or Neurodivergent.

It was a great pleasure working with Oliver Fenghour from Advance: The Disability Consultants. Shell employees were especially interested to hear Oliver’s personal story, his diagnosis and his experiences, specifically the common workplace challenges that people with autism face.  The session was just the start of our journey to support neurodiversity in the workplace and we look forward to working with Oliver in the future.
