Neurodiversity and Productivity – A Survival Guide

July 17, 2024 15:00 – 16:00 · 60 min Workshop room M5 (45)

What this session covers

In today’s world, it’s easy to be overstimulated and distracted. The more virtual we become, the harder it is to focus, communicate, and finish tasks. This is especially hard for people with neurodiversities such as ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia, and those that support them. The tech industry has a higher than average neurodiverse population, creating a unique set of time management and communication challenges. In this session, you’ll learn what it means to be neurodiverse and how it affects people at work. Based on research and firsthand experience, we’ll discuss methods for maximizing productivity and focus. You’ll also learn how to communicate more effectively when everything feels overwhelming so you can get support you need. While the focus is on neurodiversity, this session is for anyone who needs help navigating our increasingly distracting world. By the time you leave, you’ll have tools and techniques you can use to be more productive and less stressed - yes, that’s possible!
