    Frequently Asked Questions

    Our brains are all different and work differently. The word neurodiversity is often used to describe how our brains process information. It refers to different thinking patterns or cognitive types such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and tourette syndrome. 


    Lisi Bouchard (Civil Servant and Leadership Coach) created this website to explore and celebrate what neurodiversity can bring to leadership. For more information about why please see her blog 'Why neurodiverse leaders?'


    There are some excellent organisations working with individuals and workplaces to improve knowledge about neurodiversity and to help promote neuro-inclusion including Genius within, Lexxic, The Future is Neurodiverse and results.
