neurodiversity

UConn and Wells Fargo are offering free neurodiversity workshops to help corporate America support neurodivergent individuals, fostering inclusivity and recognizing their unique talents and perspectives in the workplace.

In an article by Inc.com, Richard Branson, Virgin Group founder and a dyslexic, challenges the perception of dyslexia as a limitation, instead presenting it as a strength that enhances creativity and resilience. Branson urges businesses to embrace neurodiversity including dyslexia to encourage innovation and robust business environments.

“Exploring the Neurodiversity Paradigm: A Comprehensive Review” offers a deep dive into the evolving understanding of neurodiversity. It calls for a shift in societal attitudes, moving from a deficit-based model to one that celebrates diversity and inclusion. By embracing neurodiversity, we can create a more equitable and innovative future for all.

Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves reading difficulty due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words. Many people are generally aware that people with dyslexia have a problem with reading. 

Women are all too familiar with the glass ceiling at work. But for those who are neurodivergent, the glass ceiling can feel more like a concrete wall.

Yet any attempts to move up the corporate ladder or present ideas to supervisors for improving the company were dismissed or disregarded. “It felt like I was always being rejected for promotions and now I look back and see it’s because others couldn’t see how [my neurodivergent brain] was one of my strengths.”

Neural oscillations are thought to support speech and language processing. They may not only inherit acoustic rhythms, but might also impose endogenous rhythms onto processing. In support of this, we here report that human (both male and female) eye movements during naturalistic reading exhibit rhythmic patterns that show frequency-selective coherence with the EEG, in the absence of any stimulation rhythm. Periodicity was observed in two distinct frequency bands:
