"Our family is a neurodiverse team."
That's the takeaway from a blog post by Michael Thomsen, father of four kids with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism.
Thomsen writes that he and his wife, Jennifer, have "tested out numerous tools and techniques that honor and leverage the unique differences in others, including neurodivergence."
Neurodiversity is defined as "the infinite variation in neurocognitive functioning within our species," he writes at Forbes.
Thomsen says about 15% of the world's population is neurodiverse, which includes up to 10% of people who are diagnosed with dyslexia, 5% of people who are diagnosed with ADHD, and 2% who are diagnosed with autism.
"Co-workers can express a sincere interest in the perspectives and experiences of one another," he writes.
"With an awareness of the unique way that colleagues perceive and interact with the world, they’ll avoid misstepsor even offensesduring moments of collaboration."
Some of Thomsen's favorite tools for supporting neurodivergent people at home and at work include silent writing, a virtual whiteboard, and an "intentional team culture and atmosphere."
